Abstract

The focus issue addressed in this Capstone Project is on improving the challenges faced by students with special needs through online modalities of adapted physical education (APE). This is an important issue for students with special needs because they are regressing because of online learning. Students with special needs need a routine and a hands-on learning environment to thrive. It is argued that if teachers, parents, and students meet certain criteria, these challenges can be improved with collaboration. The primary stakeholders' perspectives included one APE teacher and three parents, due to their relevant experience and observations of online APE and the visible effects it has had on students. Three action options emerged from an analysis of the data and were explored as ways to address the issue presented. Based on the data, an action option is argued to be the most effective way to improve the struggles of adapted physical education through online learning.
