ADAPTATION OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM IN PRIMARY EDUCATION FOR PUPILS WHO ATTEND SPECIAL EDUCATION CENTERS

This work has been developed with two main goals: a) to adapt the current curriculum in the Autonomous Community of Aragon in Primary Education to the characteristics of the students who attend Special Education schools; b) to develop a methodology in different phases to work with them. These students present different diagnoses: autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, degenerative diseases and generalized disorder of unspecified development. Furthermore, this work has been developed on the necessity of implement activities programmed in accordance with ordinary current curriculum, because we have barely found information about the adaptation of the regular curriculum of Physical Education. Similarly, in the Spanish context there is a lack of methodological proposals to work with this type of student in the Physical Education classes. Thereby, we think that the methodological guidelines offered here may help teachers to adapt their didactics intervention and activities to their pupils' characteristics and needs.
