Adaptive Physical Education Classes
Adaptive Physical Education Courses
Adaptive physical education courses provide education to meet the lifestyle fitness
needs for students with disabilities in a weight room environment. These classes are
also appropriate for those students without a disability but who do not feel confident
in a regular physical education class. Equipment is provided to train students in
the use of cardiovascular, resistive, strengthening, and flexibility exercises. An
individual student contract is prepared based on the student’s disability and baseline
assessment.
Most of these courses are offered every term, but check the CR course schedule for
current schedule information or contact the SASS office to learn more about these
courses.
