Adapted Physical Education

Adapted Physical Education is an individualized physical education program developed to meet the needs of students in one or more of the following areas:

• Physical and motor fitness
• Fundamental motor patterns and skills
• Dance skills
• Individual, lifetime, and team sports skills

General and adapted physical education have similar goals and objectives; however, an adapted physical education program makes modifications to general physical education activities for safe and successful participation by the student with a disability.
