Listen Later

Welcome to the latest episode of "What's New in Adapted Physical Education," where we delve into the world of Adapted Physical Education (APE) through engaging conversations with professionals shaping the field. In this episode, Drs. Barry Lavay and Melissa Bittner (CSLUB) sit down with Dr. Terry Rizzo, a distinguished scholar from California State University- San Bernadino to explore his journey, insights, and the evolution of APE. In discussing his background, they highlight how he has focused on advancing inclusion in PE in his department, at the state level, and nationally. The discussion explores Dr. Rizzo’s research on PE teachers' attitudes toward teaching students with disabilities, the evolution of inclusion in PE, and the infusion curriculum model. This model prepares all future educators to teach diverse learners by integrating disability concepts throughout their teaching. Dr. Rizzo reflects on overcoming challenges, including resistance from faculty, and celebrates the positive impact this approach has had on his students and program. Dr. Rizzo also offers practical advice to educators and young faculty about focusing on individualizing student needs, maintaining a positive attitude, and balancing one's personal life. As the episode concludes, Dr. Rizzo underscores the importance of service, staying current with literature, and being a good friend and collaborator to others.
