Case Study

Wheelchair

With the $4,000 raised through a mini-grant, donations, and fundraising, Liberty Middle School’s Physical Education Department rented sport wheelchairs and facilitated adapted sports for eight days. The project aimed to enhance students’ understanding of cultural complexities and inclusion by allowing them to experience wheelchair sports and learn about the importance of inclusion from Hope Incorporated. Counseling and Physical Education teams collaborated on lessons about compassion and inclusion, aligning with the district’s graduate profile goals. Surveys showed increased awareness and appreciation for adapted sports among students, with significant improvements in recognizing the importance and challenges of wheelchair sports.
