  6. If students in the same grade receive physical education, a student with a disability must also receive physical education.

  7. Most special education students are able to participate without special modifications.

  8. Special educators are supposed to inform you of student characteristics and needs that are relevant to your subject area.

  9. For example: • Student appears inattentive. • Don’t argue with student. • Repeat instructions back to you.

  10. Working with Paraeducators: Encourage student independence. Talk to student, para can listen. Ask para for modification ideas.

  11. Being in the same gym/room isn’t the same as participating. Sometimes, separate is better to meet the objectives of the class and the IEP.

  12. The student must be enrolled in the standard physical education course, unless the student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) team decides that . . .

  13. The student requires a level of modification greater than can be done in the standard Health/PE course and therefore needs specially-designed physical education.

  14. ADPE should follow the goals and activities of regular PE. Walking and doing sit-ups isn’t parallel learning. This is a special education responsibility but they should request your assistance (lesson plans, suggestions, Common Core Standards)

  15. Work-out stations can be a good way to do ADPE classes. What Life Sports is the student interested in or will have a chance to do? (Family interests, Special Olympics, Community sports opportunities.)

  16. Modification Types: Materials: Larger bat, larger ball. Methods: Use a T-Ball stand Rules: “Swing till your happy.”
