Abstract Details

2017, Bachelor of Science in Education, Ashland University, Teacher Education.
The overall goal of this thesis is to create a handbook that guides all teachers in creating and making adaptations for students with cognitive disabilities. Ten physical education teachers were surveyed on their use of adaptations for students with cognitive disabilities. The data was then analyzed to see which adaptations physical education teachers use the most. Three of the surveyed physical education teachers were interviewed and observed. A list of adaptations was sent to the ten physical education teachers to rank the adaptations according to their effectiveness and how easy they are to implement. The list of adaptations was also sent to fifteen general education teachers and they were asked to rank the adaptations based on their effectiveness and how likely they are to use those adaptations. The data from the surveys, interviews, observations, and rankings were all used to create the handbook. The handbook gives descriptions of adaptations, examples, samples, pictures, technology, and resources that all teachers can find useful. The handbook is a tool for intervention specialists to give teachers to guide their adaptation use for students with cognitive disabilities.
