  1. “Hey, I’ve Got This Kid...”Ideas for Physical Education Presented by The NC Adapted PE State Council November 17, 2011

  2. Adapted PE 101 • Adapted Physical Education (APE) is a direct special education service. • Children with disabilities shall have equal access to the provision of physical education. • Specially designed PE shall be provided to the child with a disability who cannot participate in the regular physical education program.

  3. Modified or Adapted? • Modified physical education – general PE with accommodations. • Adapted PE – designed on an individual basis specifically to meet the needs of a child with a disability.

  4. Determining the Need for APE • The IEP Team determines a student’s need for APE based on recommendations following an evaluation. • The IEP Team should include an Adapted PE specialist, if available, and the general PE teacher.

  5. Least Restrictive Environment • Adapted PE is a program, not a placement. • Provide PE to the maximum extent possible in the general PE program. • If APE is recommended then placement is discussed. • Continuum of placements may include • General PE setting • General PE setting with accommodations/modifications • Separate PE class • Separate Public School

  6. Who Provides APE Service? General PE Teacher • PE Teacher with training in: • Motor skills and physical development • Fitness skills • Games and sports • Lifetime activities • Limited training in working with students with disabilities. Adapted PE Specialist • PE Teacher with specialized training in: • Assessment and evaluation • Developing an individualized PE program for students with disabilities. • Knowledge and understanding of a variety of physical and cognitive disabilities.

  7. No APE Specialist? Providing APE when your county does not have an Adapted PE Specialist can be challenging. • Encourage PE staff to update knowledge of disabilities and teaching strategies. • Collaboration with other service providers (OT, PT, EC Teachers, Parents, Administrators). • Explore and use community resources (colleges, universities, recreation programs, sports programs for the disabled).

  8. Breakout Sessions • Please visit the various tables to discuss concerns or questions you may have about “This Kid…”. • Disability Awareness • U niversity/Community Connections • Resources and Equipment • The Assistant in PE • We Don’t Have APE staff in our County – what to do? • Assistive Technology in PE • Goal Writing and the Law

  9. Thank you from the NC Adapted PE Advisory Council. The council is comprised of Adapted PE specialists from across the state. • For further information contact: Laurie Ray-DPI Liaison for APE laurie_ray@med.unc.edu ph 919-636-1827
