The webinar will share some of the practical ideas and strategies that both presenters have developed over the years working with pre service teachers in physical education and running Inclusive Play & Leisure Activities for Youth (i-PLAY) at UL. This will include, adapting PE equipment to suit different students’ needs and ensuring a more inclusive experience for students through implementing the TREE principle.
