Monahan, Tony; Gist-Barrow, Michele; Willey, Rose B.
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v94 n2 p25-29 2023
Implementation of the IDEA law is designed for schools to educate all students in the least restrictive environment. However, without the awareness and understanding of all educators involved, key components of the federal law could be sidestepped. Collaboration between general physical education (GPE) and adapted physical education (APE) teachers is essential in providing quality education in the least restrictive environment for all students. Compliance to the law by teacher education programs to special educators to general educators is needed to ensure successful least restrictive placements. A descriptive case study revealed challenges to creating an inclusive GPE environment as a high school student. Key issues are identified and discussed, as are suggestions for improvement and resources of support.
