The very nature of American society today inevitably seeks to provide adequately for the education of all children. The acceptance of physical education as an integral part of general education is an established fact. Physical education is education by means of physical activities which meet the needs of the individuals involved. Properly planned and taught, it is a method whereby the entire physical, mental, and emotional well-being of an individual is enhanced through participation in activities which place emphasis on the development of skill, speed, strength, and endurance. (5) During an interview with Greve (35) he stated that school systems, in order to meet the needs of the handicapped, must adapt their existing physical education programs. In his opinion the existing programs do not need radical modifications, just adaptations to be integrated in
with the existing programs.
