Abstract
The kinds of disabilities people experience frequently require “special” approaches to accommodate them in inclusive environments. In general, these people include students with physical disabilities and other health impairments. In a bid to provide diverse educational services for these students, scholars, educators, and government agencies have advocated for educational provisions in inclusive environments. A logical extension is that physical education classes can be taught in inclusive classrooms. The question is: How do we provide inclusive programs for students with physical disabilities and health impairments? This chapter answers this question by providing pedagogical strategies and opportunities for collaborative ventures for all professionals who work with students with physical disabilities and other health impairments.
