Abstract
Physical education and recreation should make a number of contributions to the education of handicapped children. The development of knowledge and competencies in games, dancing, hobbies, nature, and sports can improve the general functioning of the handicapped in society. Specifically, physical education and recreation programs should contribute to the child's physical development, level of recreational skills, emotional development, intellectual achievement and social competencies.Keywords
