Equipment for Check-out

Equipment is available for check out to support Physical Essentials, Physical Focus, Physical Dimensions curriculum implementation for all students. Disability awareness kits and equipment for many cooperative activities is available.

This is a staff collection, meaning that it must be checked out through the adapted physical education consultant (call or e-mail Ann Griffin). It can be delivered to schools via the GWAEA vans. This is a growing collection and will include many assistive devices that will allow students with disabilities to participate in physical education or adapted physical education classes.

The collection may be viewed online or by the link below:
