[quote=Anonymous]I would definitely ask the school to do an IEP for 'adapted PE'. My DD was unable to participate in PE/recess because of some internal injuries that took over 9 months to heal. We didn't realize how long it would take and it was incredibly difficult for her to go to PE (and recess) and just watch the other kids do their thing. The school should be provided 'adapted' PE for your DD. You also might consider signing her up for some classes through the rec center so she can stay active. You might also think about have your home evaluated by an OT/PT/rehab specialist. We had that done for my FIL who was in a wheelchair for a while and the OT was able to provide a lot of suggestions for small changes that made things much easier - like installing a 'trapeze' type bar over the bed so FIL could more easily manuver himself around the bed independently. It also helped with transitioning between bed and chair.[/quote]
