Adapted Physical Education Assessment Instruments
Assessment is the first step in developing the Individual Education Program (IEP) for an individual with disabilities. It focuses on identifying activity needs of the individual, and is the interpretation of measurements obtained through testing. Assessment is also used to make decisions about placement and program planning. It forms the foundation for the instruction given to an individual with disabilities so he/she can safely and successfully participate in physical education class. The IDEA Amendments of 1997 stated that parents need to be involved in the assessment of their child and the development of their child's IEP. Consequently, parental input and observations are vital to the assessment process. Some common assessment tests used in physical education are listed below. Another aspect of assessment is determining the physical education grade a student receives on his/her report card. IDEA 97 added the requirement that children with disabilities be included in all assessments.
