Abstract

Students with disabilities engage in lower levels of physical activity compared to those without disabilities. Assistive technology (AT) is a strategy that can be used to promote physical activity in students with disabilities. The purposes of this chapter are to discuss (1) the importance of physical activity for students with disabilities, (2) cutting-edge research on the use of digital technology to support physical activity engagement, (3) the implementation of evidence-based physical activity interventions in school settings, and (4) implications for practice and future directions.
