The content applicable for those who teach both #AdaptedPE and #PhysEd
I often get asked why I always have a stuffed animal in my #AdaptedPE bucket, right now a white seal named "Sealy".
Sealy can help with:
1. Emotional support, ex. "Sealy will do it with you"
2. An engaging object to catch/throw
3. A 3rd voice during check-ins or player in tag
#AdaptedPE student’s automatic chair wasn’t working & his aide was pushing him around for evasion activities, making him a passive participant.
I made a quick paper remote control so the 👨🎓 can tell the aide where to push him.
👨🎓 and aide both agreed it was a big improvement
Today's ADAPTOBER submission comes from Matt Barker (@DigitTheAPE) in Virginia.
Using a ball pitch/launch machine he provides access for all students to activities like cricket.

#AdaptedPE
#AdaptedPE 👩🎓 working on balancing on different bases and she kept trying to d down dog upside down?!?!
I was perplexed!
Then I saw that this👩🎓, who cannot yet read, was picking the card up each time, holding it upside down, and covering the words!
Perspective is Everything!
Working w/ a👩🎓 who is consistently fatigued during #AdaptedPE lessons when the aide mentioned that I come after she eats & eating makes her sluggish, but 20 min later she is ready to🏃♀️!
Thank you to the aides who often find the "puzzle piece" to help me better support a 👩🎓.
ADAPTOBER continues w/ Chris Ahrens
@chrisahrens.bsky.social from San Diego with a strategy to aide students in spending more time working on striking & less time on chasing the ball. #AdaptedPE students.
It's ADAPTOBER - sharing the accommodations for the benefit of all!!!
An #AdaptedPE 👨🎓 wanted an increased 🤚 dribbling challenge so we worked on dribbling, securing the 🏀 , and then moving his 🦽 forward.
He advanced through levels of challenge until he was traveling through a course trying to improve his performance. From 45 to 31 sec. so proud!

1st ever lesson w/ an #AdaptedPE 👩🎓 & for the debrief 👩🎓 asked:
"What's you greatest fear?"
She quickly shared hers was🤡. A hospital🤡 came into her room once & scared her.
A debrief isn't only about reflecting on the objective. It's about making space for student voice too.
