Adapted Physical Education

What is Adapted Physical Education?

Adapted Physical Education (APE) is a diversified program of developmental activities that are modified to meet the district's physical education standards. A carefully designed physical education program is developed and implemented within the psychomotor domain for individuals with disabilities. Assistance can be provided to students in the general education program and/or along a continuum of physical education services. The Adapted Physical Education teacher must have a credential authorizing the teaching of APE, as established by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
