Description All Children Totally InVolved in Exercising (ACTIVE) has been developed to serve disabled individuals, but is equally applicable to slow learners and normal and gifted children. ACTIVE offers a training program to provide teachers with those skills/strategies necessary to implement an adapted physical education program, diagnostic/prescriptive curriculum manuals and materials addressed to the entire gamut of disabled conditions, and consultant services to assist implementers during the installation phase. Program strengths include extreme flexibility for adoption/adaptation, a total curriculum package that can be implemented immediately at minimal cost, compliance with the federal mandate requiring "written education programs for the disabled population," unlimited support services to enhance successful implementation, and accountability features to enhance administrator/community support. Student instruction is based on instruction format (i.e., the program is structured to ensure that trainees acquire the skills, knowledge, and attitudes stressed), with emphasis on trainee exposure to disabled individuals in a field setting. Participants are trained to diagnose and assess pupil strengths and deficiencies and to prescribe motor, perceptual-motor, physical fitness, posture, nutrition, and diaphragmatic breathing tasks accordingly. ACTIVE has developed low motor ability, low physical vitality components for mentally retarded, learning disabled, and emotionally disturbed student populations. No special facilities are required. Comprehensive programs can be initiated in limited space.
