Adaptive Physical Education
What is adapted physical education? Adapted physical education is a direct service provided by the physical education teacher, with consultation provided by an Adapted Physical Education Consultant. Students receive adapted physical education when, because of their disability, the instructional program is different from what their peers receive or when they will be held to a different criteria for success. Students receive adapted physical education in an integrated class setting and sometimes in an additional separate pull-out environment. This means that a student can receive adapted physical education in the environment that best meets the student's educational needs.
According to Public Law 105-17, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (I.D.E.A.), "Physical education services, specially designed if necessary, must be made available to every child with a disability receiving a free appropriate public education." An appropriate physical education program should be discussed at IEP meetings and goals and objectives should be included in the IEP whenever a student needs an adapted physical education program. Adapted physical education is a "specially designed physical education program as prescribed in the student's IEP" (PL 105-17).
