My son is in the 6th grade and has to have PE....I asked for him to be in the adaptive PE (only because I know he would refuse to dress out), but will not get credit for this...do you need credit for PE to pass the 6th grade?
Adan is going into 7th and will have to dress. They don't have adaptive PE in the school he is attending, so he will be in regular PE. In our school district, PE is mandatory. I think each district is different.
Maybe you could have accomodations made for him to go 5 minutes early to dress before eveyone else gets there.
Each school is different. Can he get dressed in the bathroom stall. I remember being shy in the locker room getting dressed and running out of the locker as quick as possible. If it is written into the IEP, (which it would have to be because adaptive phy ed is given due to test results, not requests) then they can pass without the general ed PE grade. which test results? what test? this interesting to me. Since they just wrote it into my sons IEP because they didn't want to provide adaptive. And as I said above with my daughter, just a script from the primary and the health and reading part via virtual school.I think it all depends on what county / State you are in. The schools get tricky where I'm located. For instance I fought for adaptive PE for my son with Autism. I got the story that the school didn't offer it. Then I asked for an aid for him during PE and they said No. Eventually the school ended up writing on his IEP....PE not recommended for him. It's not that I didn't want him to take PE but I had gone and watched from "afar", and saw him sitting by himself, the coaches not paying attention to him and he was miserable just sitting there in the heat. Kids can cruel. I didn't want him going through anymore of that than he has to. &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp;
Then my daughter that has some other issues, alot of what you see on the spectrum but never received the RX of being on the Spectrum. Her primary doc wrote a script saying PE was not recommended for her. She is in 9th grade tho, and still has to earn the credit. Florida Virtual School offers it as an online course. While she was in middle school, the school allowed her to work in the office and the Library.
