| Research Abstract |
The focus in this study is the mode of physical activity to pursue for physically children with disabilities. The physical education program in a school for children with disabilities is important. First, we conducted a nationwide survey questionnaire on sports in schools for children with disabilities to investigate the contents of physical education programs. The results showed that at many schools the instructor arranged the content on his or her in terms of the students. However, in recent years, with more children suffering from severe handicaps, group sport is not always possible, and the appropriate physical content cannot be provided. This poses a problem for instructors, and the fact that they are few is also a matter of concern. Next, dance classes were introduced for 3 years, with instructors and dance professionals joining hands to work out class contents. This meant instructors could obtain both information and skills. Dancing is fun for children with severe handicaps, and the program has proved successful.
