Charlotte-Mecklenburg Virtual School – Adapted Physical Education
Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester
Adapted physical education is physical education that has been modified so it is appropriate for students with disabilities (SWD). Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, 2004), all students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) will receive effective physical education services. The intent of this program is to provide a unique opportunity to enhance the quality of life for the student with disabilities through physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth. A comprehensive program designed to meet the individual needs, abilities, and developmental stages through participation in lifetime, recreational and fitness activities accomplish this process. This will include team and individual sports as well as different fitness workouts. A self-actualization value orientation curriculum will be implemented to focus on the individual learner’s growth in self-direction and development of self-management abilities. 
Prerequisites: Eligibility for APE services is determined through an initial referral or reevaluation process of a student’s IEP. All students with a disability (SWD) who cannot safely and/or successfully follow the NC Essential Standards for PE require APE.
