Inclusive, Sustainable Motor Play for People With Intellectual Disabilities: A Service Learning-Based University Teaching Innovation Project

Abstract

The document describes a university project focused on inclusive and sustainable physical education (PE) for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID). Through a service-learning (SL) approach, students designed motor games using recycled materials, promoting physical activity, inclusion, and sustainability. The project combined theoretical learning with practical experiences, involving direct interaction with athletes with ID. It emphasized the importance of sustainable, inclusive PE in teacher training and highlighted the need for future educators to develop skills in diversity and adaptive PE.
