Abstract
The aim of this project was to determine just how important physical activity is in general, the effects and importance it has on children with special needs. Also the impact it has on the children’s concentration levels in class. The reader approached this topic by interviewing two teachers one a special needs assistance in a school for children with disabilities and the second was to interview a teacher in a mixed public community school.
