Region 13's E-Campus

This interactive workshop will focus on designing effective Adapted Physical Education (APE) routines and lesson plans that promote participation and success for all students. Participants will explore how to implement these routines in both general and special education settings, including how to modify and accommodate lessons for students with Visual Impairments, Autism, and Complex Access Needs. Practical strategies and engaging activities will be shared to help every learner thrive in physical education.
