Federal special education legislation (PL 108-446: IDEA) mandates physical education (PE) for individuals with disabilities. This building session will review issues associated with the reauthorization of IDEA and offer strategies to advocate for the continuation of PE in IDEA. Strategies will include, but not limited to, attending regional hearings, establishing national talking points, using social media and more. Audience participation is essential to implement a national strategy to advocate for PE in the law. (CEU)
