Course Description

A fitness class designed for students with developmental delays. This course is designed to utilize calisthenics, jogging, exercise, race walking, and weight training to increase muscular strength and endurance, to improve posture and mobility, and to increase breath control. Exercises are tailored to the abilities of the students. Students enrolled in the course receive an individualized educational contract where course objectives are evaluated according to whether or not the objectives/student outcomes are targeted, satisfied, not satisfied, deferred, or not applicable. Noncredit. NOT DEGREE APPLICABLE. Not Transferable.
