In California we have Adaptive P. E. teachers (APE) that do
assessments on children and work with their teachers in
putting together activities appropriate to their level of
functioning and give ideas on how to adapt what they are
doing with the rest of the class to what the student can do
as well. I just came across this personally when my
daughter had a spinal cord injury and is now in a wheelchair
and can not use her legs. You might want to check with your
district to see what they offer or check with the state
department of rehabilitation. Good luck.
