always notice about physical education classes
are the loud music and fluorescent lightsin the
‘gym. These are major barriers to students with
some type of neurological differences. Many
students are also sensitive to light like bright
sunlight outdoors and the sound of squeaking
sneakers on the gym floor. The music problem
is easy to solve-lower the volume or turnitoft

perfect opportunity for team building
exercises. Instead of competitive games, the

Hard surfaces such as concrete
and asphalt may be dangerous for individuals
with dyspraxia and softer such as sand or
wood chips make it difficult to manoeuvre a
wheelchair. Gym surfaces and outdoor mats
Can be used to make physical activity more
accessible for the children with special needs.
Another way is to level the playing field by
having the whole class play a game such as
sitting volleyball or scooter soccer.
Inclusive Classrooms: It means development
of education laws in such a way that children
with special needs get education within the
normal classrooms along with other children
so that they are well accepted in society.

devices, tools or equipment that help children
