Abstract

The Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) has been adopted by teachers of students with visual impairments (TVIs) in order to provide students who are blind or visually impaired with the support they need to become independent and successful adults. Physical education is an educational setting where teachers can infuse the nine components of the ECC into their everyday lessons. The purpose of this article is to describe the nine components of the ECC and provide examples on how to infuse these components into physical education lessons.
