They said Sara's curriculum was modified in all her areas so APE wasn't needed. I must say right now she's playing floor hockey in PE and doing wonderful!!!!! I still cant imagine Sara with a stick in her hand, running around, with a class of 19 lolololol boy seems a bit dangerous to me lol Kathy mom to Sara 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He goes to the reg. PE class and the adaptive PE teacher helps him there to participate with the other kids. Example, has lots of difficulty shooting a basketball with the proper form. This is something the other kids have mastered by sixth grade so, the adaptive PE teacher works with him on his form when his classmates are working on their shooting. I like the APE teacher doing this rather than an aide since they have more training in corrent form and safe ways of doing things. When the APE teacher isn't working on a skill and is participating with the general activity he is directed by the reg. PE teacher so it isn't like he is in the class but not part of it. Clear as mud? I guess I just want people to know that it doesn't have to be a separate program. Just like OT and PT can usually be done in an integrated setting so can adaptive PE. one note- has one individual APE time a week so they can work individually on specific skills.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 does just fine in regular gym class too. I just like him getting more one on one in adaptive PE in addition to gym class, where they can take the time to break things down a little better and explain rules and things so that when he's with the rest of his class he " gets it " better. They also work on toning his tummy muscles and things along the line of exercising, which they don't do in regular gym classes. Pulling him out of the regular ed gym class would never be a consideration. He absolutely loves gym. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what I tried to explain to kathy but probabaly didn't do to well. hehe. She then participates in reg. pe, with any modifications that might be needed. for instance, in lower elem. grades they had a hard time getting her to run (move faster, lol) so in order to get her to run they would adapt the game when she was in it, ex. in flag football if she was running they couldn't take her flag, if she stopped or just walked then she was fair game. This did what the PE teacher was looking for in her case so was quite appropriate, it's funny how fast she caught on, now of course the rules in different sports have been adjusted upward (less adaptations), tho i'm not sure exactly how in flag football. :-) Of course the APE teacher and the PE teacher are the same here. hehe Small school ya know.

Sometimes the PE teacher would modify some of the requirements so that Sheila could be successful. Currently Sheila is a middle school student in a gym class of mostly upper classman (10-12 grade). Her PE teacher has an adult son with DS. Even though she is tiny compared to her classmates they all watch out for her. nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
