The problem
Most PE lessons are planned for the middle of the class.
Students with disabilities end up sitting out, doing something different on the side, or being helped through every step. A few simple changes can bring them back into the same lesson.
01
Sitting out
The activity was not planned with them in mind.
02
A separate activity
The student is in the gym but not in the class.
03
Unsafe adaptations
Changes made on the spot, without a safety check.
04
Changing the goal by accident
An accommodation turns into a modification without anyone deciding it.
What you will learn
5 lessons to adapt any lesson
Each lesson has a short video, a deep dive, a real school case study and a quiz.
Accommodations vs. modifications

Questions
Good to know
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. You earn a BxM certificate of completion with 5 hours, to show your school, district or employer.
Does it count for continuing education?
The type of credit (for example BACB CEUs or teacher professional development hours) depends on the approvals BxM holds when the course opens. We will list it clearly before you enroll. Teacher PD hours are set by each state, so check your state’s rules.
Is it part of the full certificate?
Yes. It comes from Module 4 of the 68-hour Adapted Physical Education & Behavior Professional Development Certificate. If you continue to the full certificate later, you will not repeat these lessons.
