The Development Of Physical Education Activities For First And Second Grade Children With Asthmatic And Rheumatic Heart Conditions, Janet Rae Smith

Graduate Student Research Papers

This paper will attempt to provide a handbook of physical education activities suitable for asthmatic children and rheumatic heart pupils in a first or second grade public school environment where the ratio of such handicapped is a definite minority. Personal efforts in the past to structure a physical education program to include children suffering from rheumatic heart disease or asthma have not always been satisfactory for both the "normal" and the handicapped child.
