A Strategy for Embedding Functional Motor and Early Numeracy Skill Instruction into Physical Education Activities
Physical disabilities : education and related services, Vol.35(1), pp.17-27

Abstract
This article addresses the challenges educators face when attempting to find a balance between both functional and academic skill instruction for students with severe, multiple disabilities including motor impairments. The authors describe a strategy that employs embedded instruction of early numeracy and functional motor skills during physical education activities in order to address both curricular foci. They present a step-by-step process for collaboratively identifying targeted skills, developing embedded activities and systematically teaching within game-based activities.
