Everyone agrees that physical education and athletics are an important educational component for every child. Participation in sports and extracurricular activities provide important health and social benefits to all students, even more importantly to students with disabilities. The benefits include heightened self-esteem, understanding the importance of teamwork, sensory relief, fitness, and mental and physical health.
12 Important Things to Remember about Adaptive Sports for Children with Disabilities | ... - 0 views

Finding sports opportunities for kids with disabilities is not always as simple as going down to the local soccer club during the first week of March for sign-ups. Many families are not located near an existing adaptive sports team. However, this certainly doesn’t make our kids less interested in sports – or less in need of physical fitness opportunities! Hopefully including children with disabilities in sports will soon get even easier, thanks to new guidance from the U.S. Department of Education that clarifies that school districts are legally obligated to provide equal access to extracurricular athletic activities to students with disabilities.

Gazette opinion: Montana's future depends on raising fit kids - 0 views
-
Children in Montana are more likely than their fellow American kids to engage in physical activity daily, spend less time watching television or playing video games and are less likely to have a television in their rooms. Thirty-two percent of U.S. children ages 10 to 17 are overweight or obese, compared with 26 percent of Montana children. This information comes from the 2007 National Survey of Children’s Health, which included telephone interviews with 1,800 Montana households.
