The panel consisted of In this episode we were joined by Rocco Aiello, an APE coordinator and author; Sherry St. Clair, a parent of a person with a disability; and Dr. Garth Tymeson, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. The panel discusses the transition process for parents and physical education, adapted physical activity programs in the community, and the somewhat recent Dear Colleague Letter on extracurricular activities.
Some of the resources we have that go with this week's episode are:
