Adapted PE
Adapted Physical Education (APE) serves students who are unable to participate in the standard PE program and require more specialized instruction than what is provided at the district level. Students with identified physical impairments are often in need of significant adaptations and/or alternate programming to meet their needs. Adapted PE teacher/consultants have training in both physical education and special education and they meet with both the student and the district PE teacher to assist the teacher in designing/implementing an individual or group program to meet the student's needs as outlined through the IEP. The Adapted PE teacher also provides support instruction and consultation so the student can be successfully included in the district's PE program to the maximum extent possible.
