CAPE Curriculum Design & Adapted Activities Flashcards

Which strategy best supports a student with a visual impairment during a running activity?

Answer: Use a sighted guide runner connected by a tether

A sighted guide runner linked by a short tether provides directional cues and safety for runners with visual impairments.

What is the primary purpose of a 'station' or 'circuit' format in an adapted PE lesson?

Answer: To allow simultaneous differentiated practice across multiple activities

A station/circuit format allows multiple differentiated tasks to run simultaneously, enabling individualized practice for diverse learners.

Which principle guides the selection of adapted activities so they remain age-appropriate even when skill levels are modified?

Answer: Age-appropriateness principle

The age-appropriateness principle ensures that activities, equipment, and social contexts are suitable for the student's chronological age, not developmental level.

A CAPE specialist wants to assess whether a student has generalized a skill to real-world settings. Which assessment type is most appropriate?

Answer: Ecological inventory in the natural environment

An ecological inventory observes the student performing skills in the actual environment where they will be used, measuring true generalization.

Which adapted sport uses a beeper ball and audible bases to allow athletes with visual impairments to play baseball?

Answer: Beep baseball

Beep baseball uses a softball-sized ball with an electronic beeper and bases that emit sounds to guide athletes with visual impairments.

In designing an adapted archery unit, which modification most directly benefits a student with limited upper extremity strength?

Answer: Use a lighter draw-weight bow or adaptive bow holder

A lighter draw-weight bow or an adaptive mounting device reduces the strength demand, allowing participation with limited upper extremity strength.
