Unified Physical Education is a class at E. L. Wright Middle School in Columbia, South Carolina, designed for students with a firm grasp on basic sports skills who are interested in developing leadership skills and learning to work with special populations. Students enrolled in Unified PE are paired with students with intellectual and/or physical disabilities. As a pair, students develop skills in various sports and finish each unit with a tournament.

Unified PE students at E. L. Wright Middle School have, for the past two years, volunteered and participated in Special Olympics Bowling, Unified Bowling, Special Olympics Basketball and Special Olympics Track and Field events in addition to daily PE class. Peer partners also participate in lessons from the Special Olympics Get Into It curriculum and participate in programs such as Special Olympics' "Spread the Word to End the Word" campaign and a Disabilities Awareness Week for the school.

In this video, 7th graders involved in Unified PE encourage more students to get involved.
