Abstract:
Objective To construct a support system that facilitates the participation of children with special needs(CSN)in physi-cal activity within the context of inclusive education.Methods Based on World Health Organization(WHO)health promoting school(HPS)framework,and integrating WHO International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health(ICF)as well as the WHO guidelines on physi-cal activity,a systematic and multidimensional support framework was developed.Results In the context of inclusive education,the primary forms of physical activity for CSN included physical educa-tion classes and extracurricular sports activities.A comprehensive support system was developed at macro-,me-so-and micro-levels.At the macro-level,the framework called for the establishment of inclusive physical educa-tion and activity-related policies,accessible and universally designed physical environments,inclusive activity climates,and integrated community resources.At the meso-level,it emphasized creating a supportive profession-al development environment for inclusive physical education teachers,equipping them with skills in inclusive pedagogy,classroom management and extracurricular activity planning.At the micro-level,it focused on the de-sign of physical education curricula tailored to the physical activity and motor development needs of CSN,the es-tablishment of individualized learning support mechanisms,and encouraging active participation in physical edu-cation and physical activities.Conclusion To address the physical activity and educational needs of CSN in inclusive education settings,a three-tiered support system has been constructed.The macro-level involves policy,environment and community;the meso-level focuses on teachers and instructional practices;and the micro-level targets students'learning,motor devel-opment and health.
