Write a two-page report on each medical condition:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) [Menatl, behavioral, psychological impairment] & Spinal Cord Injury [Physical impairment]

(4 pages in total, 1.5 lines-spacing). Use APA 7

• The first page of each medical condition will focus on the

overview


of the selected

medical condition. Include its


etiology, types, associated impairments and disabilities,

and the ways in which the medical condition would affect one’s active lifestyles

. On this

page, students will also need to discuss

other disabling conditions

broadly that are

associated with the selected medical condition (e.g., societal attitudes such as

stereotyping/stigmatization, built environments, and policies, etc.).

• In the second page of each medical condition, students will need to provide various

ideas of

adaptation strategies

for the selected individual group to participate

meaningfully in

physical activity or leisure

(e.g., sport, recreation, and physical

education; choose one specific context/setting). For example, providing various means

such as zero-depth entry, lift, and a transfer wall in a swimming context would enhance

accessibility for individuals with mobility impairments. Using equipment that has a

built-in auditory aid (e.g., ball with a bell in it) in a physical education setting can be an

adaptation strategy for students with visual impairments.

• Try to expand your thinking to highlight various, meaningful, and innovative adaptation

strategies.

• For each medical condition, you should include a minimum of

four references (i.e.,

eight in total)

to support your discussion. Online resources (e.g., Cerebral Palsy

Canada) are also acceptable for this assignment (make sure you follow the APA 7th

edition referencing style).

Your assignment will be assessed based upon the following criteria:

• All the required information is included;

• Overview of two medical conditions is thorough (i.e., good use of details);

• Identification of disabling conditions is insightful/thoughtful (i.e., critical insight and freshness

of thought);

• Adaptations are innovative, meaningful, and varied;

• Respectful and consistent disability language is used;

• Ideas are clearly presented and organized;

• A sense of completeness about the handling of the topic is achieved;

• Selection of references are well-aligned (i.e., intelligent use of sources);

• It is well written (free of grammatical and spelling errors); and

• The written report follows the formatting guidelines provided
