Adapted Physical Education (APE)

All students are entitled to a quality physical education program. It is our goal that all special needs students are safe and successful in the regular PE program. This may be accomplished through accommodations in the regular class or, where necessary, more intensive modifications and adaptations for the individual student as determined by the IEP team.

GCS Adapted Physical Educators (APES) provide services that are:

• Curriculum based and prescriptive
• Student-centered
• Collaborative with other professionals (Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Classroom Teachers, PE teachers, Administrators, etc.)

We focus on:

• Physical and Motor Fitness
• Fundamental Motor Skills and Patterns
• Skills in Individual Group Games, Sports, and Activities including intramural and life-time sports
