Adapted Physical Activities for Students with Sensory Disabilities

To prepare for seminars and test work on 3 topics. Independent performance of practical work. To prepare for the examination.

Knowledge, skills and competences of students are assessed in three test works. 1. Definitions and terminology regarding types of SDDs. 2. Aetiology of SDDs (visual and hearing disorders, etc.). 3. Degree of severity of SDDs and their relationship to the student’s age factor. Organisation of the inclusive special education teaching environment in sports and health classes for students with SDDs. Skills and competences of students are assessed in two practical works. 1. Communication, including alternative communication (e.g. Braille language), methods and practical application thereof during sports and health classes. 2. Analysis of examples of practical cases during practical classes in the school environment. To prepare a theoretical justification of practical work, to measure individually and collectively objective signs of functional limitations relating to APA students with SDDs. At the end of the study course, a differentiated assessment is provided based on the sum of points obtained without an additional examination. To get a positive assessment for the study course, the total points should sum up to at least 4. Summative assessment of knowledge and competences in test works. All written test works must be passed. If a student is absent or does not pass a test work, the test work must be retaken and passed. For a student to have a successful final assessment, he/she must have successfully written all four of the intended test works. In practical works, students should fill the measurement protocol individually. Conclusions should be drawn on compliance of the results obtained with the standard, and they should be interpreted.
