WHY IS ADAPTED PE IMPORTANT?
![Page 11: Adapted Physical Education](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55a8ea551a28abb20e8b45c4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Movement is a pre-requisite for most of our educational activities. Individuals
with inefficient movement patterns may encounter added difficulties in
vocational, social, emotional and educational areas.

It is essential to provide success-oriented activities to students who
have interests, capabilities and limitations that are not met
through the regular PE program.Adapted PE emphasizes:

• Physical and motor fitness
• Motor skills and patterns
• Body mechanics
• Individual games and sports for lifetime enjoyment and fitness

Students are also taught to apply motor and recreational skills to
various home and community settings, to facilitate socialization,
self and peer group acceptance, and normalization in the
community.

HOW STUDENTS RECEIVE ADAPTED PE
![Page 16: Adapted Physical Education](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55a8ea551a28abb20e8b45c4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Students must qualify for Adapted physical education according to
criteria established by the Louisiana Department of Education. When a
student is having difficulty performing in regular physical education, a motor screening is
initially conducted by the regular physical education teacher PRIOR to
referral.
![Page 17: Adapted Physical Education](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55a8ea551a28abb20e8b45c4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Academic/ Behavioral Intervention Team at the school will
be contacted. If warranted, evaluation will then be conducted by
Adapted PE personnel. When a student qualifies for APE services, the type and frequency of services
will be determined by the IEP team.

Students who have the following characteristics will be considered for screening and referral:

WHERE AND WHEN STUDENTS RECEIVE
ADAPTED PE
![Page 21: Adapted Physical Education](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110122/55a8ea551a28abb20e8b45c4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Students receive APE during their school day. The class is scheduled according to the needs of the student as indicated on the IEP.
Typically, students participate in some regular physical education with support
from a para-educator or inclusion support from the adapted physical education
teacher.

However, many students require instruction in a self-contained class with other students with disabilities. Instruction may occur outdoors on school grounds, in the gym, or in another defined space.
