Inclusion Criteria

Government primary schools will be invited to participate on the basis of the following criteria:
School is within 3 hours of our university
School has not previously completed our iPLAY
School has 10 or more children with intellectual disabilities in Years 2–5

In those schools, all teachers will be eligible to participate in professional learning, with student-level data only collected from children with intellectual disabilities in Years 2–5.

Exclusion Criteria

Children with intellectual disabilities will be excluded under two circumstances. 1] Children will be excluded if they have a physical disability that precludes them from running. Children with mild physical disabilities will still be eligible, because these disabilities are often comorbid with intellectual disabilities. For example, children in wheelchairs would be excluded, but children with mild cerebral palsy would be included. Similarly, children will still be eligible if they have mild, comorbid developmental disorders (e.g., level 1 Autism Spectrum Disorder, mild Childhood-Onset Fluency Disorder); however, 2] children will be excluded if their developmental disorder precludes them from responding to verbal questions (e.g., level 2 and 3 Autism Spectrum Disorder would be excluded based on this criteria).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Fundamental Movement Skills measured by competence on the 'Test of Gross Motor Development-3 (Webster & Ulrich, 2017). We will include the three skills for each subscale that explained the most variance in children with intellectual disabilities (see Magistro et al., 2018; Simons et al., 2008). The primary outcome will be the raw score, totalled across both trials of all six skills: run, gallop, hop, one-hand strike, dribble, and kick.[Baseline and 21 months post-baseline]
