A Study in Teaching CPR to a Disabled Student
Brady, Bill; Sanders, Cindy
Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v17 n3 p13 Jan-Feb 2004
This article describes a CPR training course modified for a student with cerebral palsy. Brian is a 10th grade student with cerebral palsy affecting his right side. Brian had a difficult time in the class and was not able to meet the standards required to pass his CPR training. Here, the author discusses how two adaptations were utilized, that helped him pass the training and receive his certification. This case study shows that even life saving skills that have strict guidelines, can be learned through adaptations, allowing disabled individuals to learn important knowledge and skill.
