Question

Can a child with a disability be fully exempt from gym in school?​

Answer 1

it depends how severe the disability is. Say they have broken their arm, they can probably do a short jog instead of a mile.

Answer 2

it typically depends on the severity of the disability, but yes. however the student may be required to take health or nutrition classes to make up for the missing gym credits. the student will also need to have a 504 or IEP plan and being exempt from gym needs to be included in this plan.
