The emphasis of adapted physical education is to facilitate participation of students with disabilities with typically developing peers in age-appropriate activities. Adapted physical education is often provided in conjunction with the general PE program with consultation with general education PE teachers. Consultation may include adaptations or program modifications to address the individual needs of students in their PE program.
Our NSSEO Adapted Physical Education program consists of highly qualified teachers with approval in the area of Adapted Physical Education. Adapted Physical Education Teachers participate in and present at workshops and conferences in this specialized area of education.
