In this episode of The Just Adapt It Files, we dig into the national landscape of assessment practices in Adapted Physical Education with insights from the peer-reviewed APE Assessment Survey published in Palaestra (2024).
This episode explores how APE teachers across the country are assessing students, the surprising gaps in tool usage, and the widespread reliance on informal methods. With fewer than 20% of teachers reporting consistent use of standardized tools like the TGMD-3, this study raises big questions about validity, eligibility, and equitable service delivery.
If you’re a teacher, therapist, or school leader wondering what “best practice” really looks like in assessment, this episode offers clarity, honest reflection, and practical takeaways. Have a listen—and see how your own approach compares to the national picture.
