2. Debates in Adapted Physical Education Sonya Felmly West Chester University

3. Debate • Should physical education teachers all use the same assessment to determine a students eligibility for adapted physical education?

4. ??Debate?? • During this presentation I will discuss… • Background information from NASPE, AAPAR, and IDEA. • Motor and fitness test used for placement • Other criteria to be considered for placement • ***Beginning Misunderstandings…***

5. IDEA vs. NASPE and AAPAR Position • Emotional Disturbances • Hearing Impairment • Intellectual Disability • Multiple Disabilities • Orthopedic Impairment • Other Health Impairments • Specific Learning Disability • Speech or Language Impairment • Traumatic Brain Injury • Visual Impairment, including blindness • IDEA considers students to be eligible for special education, and adapted physical education if they are identified with one of the 14 disabilities stated in the law. • Autism • Deaf-Blind • Deafness • Developmental Delay

6. IDEA vs. NASPE and AAPARPosition • NASPE and AAPAR position is that any student can be eligible if they have unique instructional needs in physical education, regardless of disability, is entailed to receive appropriate accommodations through adapted physical education.

7. NASPE Standards • Standard 1: • Demonstrates competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities. • Standard 2: • Demonstrates understanding of movement concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics as they apply to the learning and performance of physical activities. • Standard 3: • Participates regularly in physical activity. • Standard 4: • Achieves and maintains a health-enhancing level of physical fitness. • Standard 5: • Exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity settings. • Standard 6: • Values physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and/or social interaction.

8. Different Placements For Adapted PE • IDEA requires students with disabilities to be instructed in the least restricted environment. • General Physical Education • General Physical Education with APE Consultation • APE direct services in General Physical Education • Part-Time APE and Part-Time GPE • Reverse Mainstreaming • Self-Contained APE

9. Criteria For Eligibility ****THE LAW DOES NOT SPECIFIACALLY STATE WHAT CRITERIA FOR MOTOR PERFORMANCE SHOULD BE USED TO DETEREMINE IF A CHILD NEEDS ADAPTED PHYSICAL EDUCATION!!!

23. Motor Skills and Abilities • Bruininks- Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency • Most widely used motor proficiency test • Measures gross and fine motor skills Sample Report • http://www.pearsonassessments.com/hai/images/pa/products/bot-2/BOT2_rpt_sample.pdf

24. Motor Skills and Abilities • Fine Motor Precision—7 items (e.g., cutting out a circle, connecting dots) • Fine Motor Integration—8 items (e.g., copying a star, copying a square) • Manual Dexterity—5 items (e.g., transferring pennies, sorting cards, stringing blocks) • Bilateral Coordination—7 items (e.g., tapping foot and finger, jumping jacks) • Balance—9 items (e.g., walking forward on a line, standing on one leg on a balance beam) • Running Speed and Agility—5 items (e.g., shuttle run, one-legged side hop) • Upper-Limb Coordination—7 items (e.g., throwing a ball at a target, catching a tossed ball) • Strength—5 items (e.g., standing long jump, sit-ups)

26. Motor Skills and Abilities • Fitness Gram • Fitness test that assess aerobic capacity; muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility; and body composition. • Works well with fitness best curriculum • Scores from these assessments are compared to Healthy Fitness Zone standards • Healthy Fitness Zone standards are criterion-referenced standards that are based on fitness levels for boys and girls and various ages. • Activity Log • 3 days/30 minute increments • Software generates: • Minutes of activity • Periods of activity each day • Type of activity

28. More Criteria.. • Not only do you need to look at psychomotor skills set but you must also consider two of the following… • Behavior • Sensory needs • Socialization skills • Ability to perform with the class • Formal and Informal Observations in the general physical education class • Parent Input

29. What fitness test would you like to see PA adapt as their official test? • Or what key components would you take from each test to make one assessment? • Also, do you think PA should come up with a rubric to identify the other criteria's?

30. My thoughts… • I like the Brockport test the best. I think it really considers students with all types of disabilities when measuring motor skills. • I would also like to see a rubric for the other criteria. • The test should be norm-based so all students are really getting the right services!
