I am an able-bodied or non-disabled person, who is able to participate freely and actively in physical activity described in this resource. As a Special Education teacher who tries to fight ableism in my classroom practice and life, I would need to stop and think about my biases around body type and shape and disability, especially a physical disability or type of neurodivergence that might require modifications, accommodations, and/or other considerations for every student's full engagement. The "Supplemental information" at the end of the resource, may serve best at the top to call attention to it, should include considerations for any students or participants with the needs previously described.
