A chapter in Special Olympics Oral History Volume 4, 2025, pp 415-441 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This is an interview with Yi He, a Special Olympics coach and a PE teacher in a special education school for over three decades in Beijing. His story indicates his efforts to value the dignity of students with disabilities, his creative ways to strength the mentorship role of older athletes for younger ones, and his utilization of direct and simple instructions to facilitate students’ learning. As a high-quality teacher who brings positive change students, he deeply concerns about rejection his students with intellectual disabilities experience and a lack of recognition of the importance of the professional work he and other teachers do to empower students in society.
