Abstract

This session will provide PE teachers with specific strategies for modifying both formal and informal assessments for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). With an increased emphasis on assessment, and a rise in the prevalence of ASD, it is critical that teachers can adapt assessments to meet the needs of students with ASD. Session participants will learn practical strategies for modifying assessment specific to motor skill performance, FitnessGram, rubrics, checking for understanding, and peer assessments.
