Unified P.E.

Unified P.E.

Unified Physical Education is a unique opportunity for students of varying ability levels and backgrounds to come together on equal terms through ongoing fitness, sports, leadership and wellness activities. This course focuses on the physical, intellectual and social growth of all participants. Engaging in physical activity and sport alongside peers with and without disabilities helps to foster important social relationships.

How to get Involved

Monthly challenges

CHARTING THE COURSE FOR INCLUSION is designed as a series of whole
school engagement activities that Unified Champion Schools can
implement on their school campuses to activate students with and
without intellectual disabilities to participate in fun, unified challenges.
This guide provides clear instructions, guidance, challenge activities,
and materials needed to complete each challenge!
