What's New in Adapted Physical Education

101 on teaching children with visual impairments in PE


Listen Later

In this special episode, we had Dr. Lauren Liberman from SUNY Brockport college to discuss how to teach students with visual impairments (VI) in a physical education setting. Dr. Lauren Lieberman is a a Distinguished Service Professor in the area of adapted physical education. Prior to graduate school, she taught at the Perkins School for the Blind in the Deafblind program for five years. In addition, Dr. Lieberman founded and currently runs Camp Abilities, a sports camp for children with VI, each summer in Brockport, NY. She has helped start fourteen Camp Abilities programs in the United States and other countries.
Specifically in this podcast, we discuss the different types of VI and how this may affect their physical education experiences, teaching strategies specific to working with children with VI, and applying universal design principles with students with VI. The direction of this podcast discuss was guided by a chapter written by Dr. Liberman in the Winnick and Porretta textbook called "Adapted Physical Education and Sport".
