  Case: Physical Education
Greg loves physical education class. He is in eleventh grade student in a self-contained classroom. He is mainstreamed for three periods into general education. During, his time in physical education he has sensory issues and a medical issue called Chiari Malformation. The concern in this period is when the weather is too cold for the physical education classes to go outside, so all students are in the gym. This means there are over 100 students in the gym, which can be an issue for Greg. What solution could I (the coach) come up with to decide whether or not Greg should participate during this class period, in this type of situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I find that when you are dealing with a large amount of students it helps to split them up into smaller groups. Simply by offering more game options to the class, you can naturally split the class up into smaller sections that Greg can deal with more easily.

Comments: Small groups would be a great idea to do, it would be easier to control Greg. Also by having his OT work with him during this time would be best for Greg.
