Roadmap to Adapted Physical Education
 

The Roadmap to Adapted Physical Education is a new FREE interactive course on the SHAPE America Online Institute that will guide you through the core components of adapted physical education services and how to apply these components to your program. The self-paced course allows participants to reflect on their own physical education program through critical thinking tasks and engagement activities. As the final project, participants will have the opportunity to answer questions that will allow them to personalize their own roadmap for adapted physical education services specific to their state and district.
