Podcast 109: Adapted Physical Education for kids with Down Syndrome

Hello everyone! I am proud to bringing you the 9th episode of Whats New in APE! It has been a tremendous journey so far and I am excited for it to continue. For the 10th episode we were honored to have on two adapted physical educators who are mother and daughter. The mother, Jean Young, is an adapted physical educator in Poway Unified School District in California. Jean's daughter, Amanda Young is an adapted physical educator at TCU in Texas. Amanda is also a colleague of mine at Texas Women's University and is working on her dissertation which focuses on communication with parents of children with Down Syndrome.

Listening to both of these educators unique perspectives on the world of APE and working with kids with Down Syndrome was a blast. Please give it a listen and leave any comments for me on ideas for upcoming podcasts.
