Adaptive Physical Education Program

Adaptive Physical Education is a program designed to help students with gross motor difficulties. The objective is to improve those skills, succeed in their growth and optimum motor development so they become healthy and fit individuals.

This winter/spring, the Elementary Adapted Physical Education students have worked on various gross motor skills.  They have worked on locomotor skills, fitness skills, balancing skills and ball skills which included catching, throwing, striking, and aiming at targets.  These pictures demonstrate the students working on balancing, jumping, catching, and running.
