Word from the Founder of JustAdaptIt.com

Hello and welcome to JustAdaptIt.com, my name is Matt Barker, AKA @DigitTheAPE, and I am an Adapted PE teacher in Fairfax County, Virginia. Adapted P.E. is my dream job, and I love to find creative ways to make P.E. activities accessible for ALL students. I started this website as a hub to house all of my Adapted PE resources in one place, as well as collaborate with amazing teachers from all over the world to share theirs too.

Just Adapt It began as a T-Shirt Design and a Padlet as a database for Adapted PE ideas for modifications and adaptations that are categorized and organized. Tweets, YouTube videos, pictures, documents, GIFs pretty much anything can be shared on there.

My hope is to collaborate with lots of dedicated adapted PE teachers, who can contribute by posting ideas on the padlet, or writing a blog post for anything adapted PE related!
