Kiersten Penrod, an itinerant Adapted Physical Education teacher at Northwest ISD, has developed a creative solution to assist students who use wheelchairs in practicing basketball dribbling. By attaching a basketball to a scooter using milk crates and elastic materials, she enables students to dribble without the ball rolling away, thereby enhancing their engagement and skill development.
This innovative approach exemplifies how adaptive equipment can be utilized to make physical education more inclusive and accessible for all students.
