What is Adapted Physical Education?
Adapted Physical Education (APE) is an instructional service provided to support Arlington ISD's comprehensive physical education program. Its purpose is to provide an individualized physical education program in which the activities and instructional strategies or procedures are adapted to the specific strengths and deficits of students with disabilities. APE is designed to address a student's individual needs as indicated in the student's annual goals and objectives included in his/her individualized education program (IEP).
Arlington ISD Physical Education
Arlington ISD Physical Education is dedicated to empowering all students to lead healthy, active lives through lifelong wellness and physical education. Our vibrant learning community fosters strong relationships, open communication, and meaningful support for educators. By utilizing innovative teaching strategies and diverse instructional methods, we ensure that every student develops the skills and knowledge necessary for lifelong physical literacy and well-being. Students with disabilities are provided full access to the same programs as their non-disabled peers. Emphasis is placed on age-appropriate activities for the achievement of physical, social, and cognitive development toward a wholesome lifestyle.
