Maybe I can answer my question myself:
I just came across the term "adapted physical education". Can
anybody confirm that this an English equivalent to the German
"Sportförderunterricht"?

physical remediation

A google search of that term mostly leads to sites in the environmental
realm so I doubt that this is really it.

Thanks for your help, Pete!

Would you say that your posting confirms my guess?
Or does it rather suggest that Adapted Physical Education
is aimed at children with "real" disabilities?

I just have provided a convenient search result. Health and
Physical Education is not one of my special fields. - Sorry!

Hi everybody!

I'm looking for an English equivalent to the German word
"Sportförderunterricht" formerly known as "Schulsonderturnen." It refers
to a special PE class in regular German primary schools in which children
that seem to have physical and motor deficits are especially
supported/fostered.

I could imagine to use "classes for physically challenged children" but
I'm sure there are better and less misleading ways of putting this.

Thanks for your help.

"I am an undergrad student at a state university in PA. My major is in
Health and Physical Education but I am focussing on Adapted Physical
Education. It seems to me that not enough schools have programs for
children with disabilities. And if they do have programs, they are not
valued and stressed as important for students who need them most. I
know many people disapprove of physical education as a general
requirement for graduation but isn't physical activity one of the most
important things directly connected to childhood obesity? Children of
all ages and abilities should be given a good experience in physical
education. Are there any schools out there that have strong physical
education programs for general education as well as a program for
children with disabilities?"
