Curriculum Map
This curriculum plan was developed for Molly Marvin, who is attending ASAPP this
semester. The chart below displays a 10-week progression map to be followed during
Molly’s time in ASAPP. There will be two – 30-minute meetings each week, and new unit
will be covered bi-weekly. The first two-weeks will consist of an assessment, determining
Molly’s present level of performance, and behavioral observations. The weeks to follow will
be gross motor /locomotor skills, fitness and cardiovascular, and object manipulation skills.
The final two weeks will be a dance unit (because Molly’s mother says she enjoys dancing)
and a post assessment. Throughout this oncoming semester there will be a focus on finding a
fitness goal for Molly and any changes to the plan will be discussed with the student, parent,
and teacher.

Unit Objectives
Motor
1. Students, when visually and verbally prompted, will overhand throw a ball (From a
standing position with dominant hand grasping ball, students will step forward with their
dominant foot [toes pointed forward, knees slightly bent, body leaning slightly forward],
bringing their dominant arm up to their ear and bending at the elbow to 90 degrees. When
arm reaches 90 degrees the students will swing their arm forward towards the front of
their body, while slightly rotating their body forward, with slight force releasing the ball
between the 45- and 15-degree mark and propelling the ball forward) to a partner or
paraprofessional 15ft away successfully at least 4 out of 6 times within 30 seconds.
2. Students, when visually and verbally prompted, will underhand toss a ball (From a
standing position with dominant hand grasping ball, students will step forward with their
dominant foot [toes pointed forward, knees slightly bent, body leaning slightly forward],
swing their dominant arm holding the ball back towards the posterior of their body, about
45 degrees. When arm reaches about 45 degrees students will swing their arm forward
towards the front of their body with slight force releasing the ball between the 15- and
45-degree mark and propelling the ball through the air forward) to a partner or
paraprofessional 15ft away successfully at least 4 out of 6 times within 30 seconds
3. Students, when visually and verbally prompted, will underhand roll a ball (From a
standing position with dominant hand grasping ball, students will step forward with their
dominant foot [toes pointed forward, knees slightly bent, body leaning slightly forward],
swing their dominant arm holding the ball back towards the posterior of their body, about
45 degrees. When arm reaches about 45 degrees students will swing their arm forward
towards the front of their body with slight force releasing the ball between the 15- and
25-degree mark and propelling the ball forward on the ground) to a partner,
paraprofessional, or objective 15ft away successfully at least 3 out of 4 times within 45
seconds
4. Students, when visually and verbally prompted, will catch an overhand thrown ball (From
a standing position, students will widen their stance so their feet are about shoulder width
apart, hands are brought up to the face making a diamond shape [index fingers are
touching together and thumbs are touching together, elbows are bent preparing for impact
from the ball) from a partner or paraprofessional 15ft away successfully at least 4 out of 6
times within 30 seconds
5. Students, when visually and verbally prompted, will catch an underhand tossed ball
(While in a standing position students will widen their stance so their feet are about
shoulder width apart, hands are brought up to the face making a scooping shape [pinky
fingers are touching together and fingers are curved, hands open, elbows and knees are
bent, arms are below the waist preparing for impact from the ball) from a partner or
paraprofessional 15ft away successfully at least 4 out of 6 times within 30 seconds.
Cognitive
1. Students, when verbally prompted, will accurately give verbal cues for catching a ball
(standing position students, wide stance, feet shoulder width apart, hands in front of the
face, scooping shape, pinky fingers touching, fingers are curved, hands open, elbows and
knees bent, arms below waist) correctly at least 3 out of 4 times to the teacher during the

forward, rotate body forward, release ball) correctly at least 4 out of 5 times to the teacher
during the closure portion of the lesson.
3. Students, when verbally prompted, will give verbal cues for tossing a ball (standing
position, ball in dominant hand, step forward with dominant foot, knees slightly bent,
body leaning forward, swing dominant arm back, swing arm forward, rotate body
forward, release ball) correctly at least 3 out of 5 times to the teacher during the closure
portion of the lesson.
4. Students, when verbally prompted, will explain how to score in Bocce Ball (closest bocce
to the pallino scores points, closest team gets a number of points equal to how many of
their bocce are closer to the pallino, a baci (bocce touches the pallino) earns the team 2
points for that ball, 12 points wins round (must be 2 more than opponents)) correctly at
least 4 out of 6 times to the teacher during the closure portion of the lesson.

2. The teacher and Molly will review the rules and expectations for the day
3. Warm-up (5 mins):
a. Tuesdays will be gross motor/locomotor exercises and Thursdays are ball
manipulation
b. Molly struggles with balance so a balance beam and balancing yoga poses would
be very beneficial

Activity
- Molly is an angler who wants to catch fish but the fish are a distance away. So, Molly has
to spread bait to bring the fish closer so she can catch them.
- Objective is underhand toss to a partner/paraprofessional to get them closer
o With a ball (bait) Molly will underhand toss the ball (spread bait) to her partner
(fish)
o From the poly-spot Molly is standing on she will step on the poly spot in front of
her with her dominant foot and perform the underhand toss
o If the ball is caught not using the proper catching technique, then her partner
moves two step closer. If the ball is caught using the proper catching technique,
then the partner moves one step closer. If the ball is tossed over the partners head
or out of reach then the partner stays where they are at.
o When the partner gets at least 5 steps away then they are “caught” and the roles
are switched
- Task cards will be placed on the ground to display the proper motion that she should be
taking
Modifications
- To increase difficulty the partner can either be further away or moving left to right
- Rolled balls are allowed if thrower continuously overshoots (applies to much power and
goes over partners head)
- To decrease difficulty partner can be at a closer distance or take more steps forward
Cues
- Step on crab (step forward)
- Spread the bait (swing are back then forward)
- Watch the horizon (Look at target)

or are dangerous and remove it from the area
3. Select a side for the student(s) to throw from and place 2 poly-spots on the ground
o The first poly-spot is where the student will stand and the second will be for the
foot placement for the toss.
4. Stick painters’ tape to the back of the “throwing” task cards and either attach them to the
floor
o Be sure the task card is visible to the student and not place in an awkward position
(i.e., upside down or facing backwards
5. Place beanbags or deflated tennis balls next to the task cards
6. Designate area for students to place their water bottles and an area for the speaker/music
player
