Services

Adaptability provides services to meet the specific needs of students with diverse abilities from Early Childhood through High School. We service schools in the West, Southwest and South Chicagoland Suburbs.

Adapted Physical Education classes-

One of our ISBE licensed Adapted PE teachers will come to your school and teach Adapted PE classes to your students. We pride ourselves on creating a positive learning environment, while teaching fun and engaging lessons that build off student strengths! In addition to teaching classes, our Adapted PE teacher can become a part of the students Individualized Educational Program as Adapted Physical Education is a Direct Special Education service.

Our Adapted PE classes can be provided in two ways;

*Reverse Inclusion Adapted PE-

If a school has multiple students with diverse abilities that are unable to be safely and successfully mainstreamed into the general Physical Education curriculum, Adaptability will implement a highly structured Adapted PE program that promotes peer-to-peer socialization among typical developing peers from the school.

*Self-contained Adapted PE-

If students attend a Therapeutic Day school or Private school setting that does not have typically developing peers on campus, or the student(s) are not ready for a inclusive class with typically developing peers, the classes will be taught in a highly structured self contained model.

Coaching-

*Consult APE services via coaching-

If a student with diverse abilities attends general Physical Education, one of our Adapted PE teachers will come on site to provide coaching to the student’s PE teacher and paraprofessional(s) that may attend class. This in order to provide strategies, accommodations and modifications that can be made to the curriculum. This service allows for the PE teacher and paraprofessional(s) to better provide for their students in an Inclusion setting while helping them to differentiate their instruction. This service includes becoming a part of the students Individualized Educational Program.
