INFLUENCES OF INCLUSIVE ADAPTED PHYSICAL EDUCATION ON THE MOTOR SKILLS AND PEER INTERACTION OF STUDENTS WITH INTELLIGENT DISABILITIES

In order to help students with intellectual disabilities (ID) to better interact with their peers and to improve their motor skills, the concepts and strategies of inclusive adapted physical education (IAPE) are systematically expounded, and its influences on motor skills and peer interactions of ID students are studied and analysed. The results have shown that the motor skills of ID students can be better improved under IAPE, while the influences on peer interactions vary. In general, students in higher grades accommodate ID students in sports games better, which shows that the IAPE can better improve the motor skills and peer interactions of ID students.
