Blanket Medical Excuses from Physical Education: Possible Solutions.
Lieberman, Lauren J.; Cruz, Luz
Teaching Elementary Physical Education, v12 n4 p27-30 Jul 2001
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act protects students' rights to equal physical education (PE). Most parents, physicians, educators, and administrators do not realize the importance of PE for disabled children nor students' legal rights. This paper examines the current problem and discusses possible solutions (e.g., become familiar with the disability, communicate directly with physicians, and implement the program). (SM)
