Determining the Most  Appropriate Physical Education Placement for Students with Disabilities
  Luis Columna, Timothy Davis, Lauren Lieberman, &  Rebecca Lytle

Abstract: Adapted physical  education (APE) is designed to meet the unique needs of children with  disabilities within the least restrictive environment. Placement in the right  environment can help the child succeed, but the wrong environment can create a  very negative experience. This article presents a systematic approach to making  decisions when determining appropriate APE or physical education placements for  students with disabilities and should enable teachers to understand better  their own district policies regarding such placements.
