Abstract
Successful implementation of an achievement-based physical education programme for children with movement problems depends upon (a) a very careful selection of physical activities appropriate to the ability levels of each individual child, (b) adaptation of the learning and performance environment to simplify the movement task, and (c) choice of appropriate teaching methods that are structured and tailored to suit the individual needs. This is universally accepted.
