Adapted Physical Activity (UNC-Wilmington)

Adapted Physical Activity by the University of North Carolina Wilmington is a Youtube channel created by their Adapted Physical Education Program that provides alternative games for students with disabilities. The channel shows their APE students conducting lessons with students with disabilities and helping them to gain access to an equitable physical education curriculum.

This youtube channel helps to find lesson plan ideas for students with and without disabilities (Unified PE, Reverse Inclusion, Push-In, etc). Find modifications to games with several “or’s” shown for students with disabilities, such as different methods to performing a skill that helps every student with skill mastery. Finally, this helps to break down skills into progressions for skills that may be hard to earn mastery in (Skill progressions, skill progressions for students with disabilities,etc.).

Just Adapt It

The Just Adapt It webpage created by Matt Barker, Virginia Teacher of the Year 2024-2025, which has thousands of resources to use to help teach students with disabilities. The have a wide range of technology that you can utilize in your daily teaching from assistive technology to modified lesson plan ideas.My favorite part of the website is the modified lesson plans that I have used to help create my lesson plans within the APE program at CSULB. They have lesson plans for all ages that helps future and current APE teachers to create appropriate lesson plans for their students. I hope to use this resource in the future to help my students to access physical education in their own way as well as to make APE classes fun and engaging for my future students.

Mr. Jeff Adapted PE

Jeff Watkins, Maryland APE Teacher of the Year 2024, posts several ideas to use with your future students. One aspect of his youtube channel that I appreciate is Mr. Watkins use of assistive technology. Assistive Technology is vital to use in the field of Adapted PE because when working with students that have significant support needs, assistive technology can be extremely useful to help them feel what they are suppose to do as well as the outcome of the movement, without actually doing every little step. I hope with my future students, that I can utilize some of Mr.Watkins assistive technology ideas.
