Assessment Process and Qualifying Criteria for Adapted Physical Education

When discussing assessment in adapted physical education (APE), two key types emerge: ongoing assessment for lessons/units and qualifying factors based on assessment for APE. Qualifying for APE involves criteria such as educational impact, where students must fall below certain standards, as outlined by Shape America, and have one of the 14 disabilities identified by IDEA. Multiple assessments are crucial to show the need for APE services, with emphasis on not relying solely on one assessment.
