Adapted Physical Education

You can explore the many facets of adapted physical education and sport for individuals with disabilities in Wright State’s adapted physical education endorsement program. You will be able to better meet the needs for all individuals with disabilities in their classes. Classes are typically 25 students or less, and are online during the school year, making this the ideal program for current teachers. You will be on campus for one week during the summer for adapted aquatics and to sit for the Adapted Physical Education National Standards (APENS) exam.
