The Adapted Physical Education Assessment Scale-II (APEAS II) is the major revision of a test used for over 25 years. While the test is based on scores of students in the general school population, its greatest use has been to identify students to receive special education services in adapted physical education.
The APEAS II was developed by the American Association for Physical Activity and Recreation (AAPAR) in cooperation with the Los Angeles Unified School District.
The test measures four (4) areas of motor performance and Adaptive Behaviors—those behaviors that, in spite of adequate motor performance, limit a student’s ability to safely and successfully participate in general physical education. The test measures:
- Perceptual Motor Function
- Object Control
- Locomotor Skills
- Physical Fitness
- Adaptive Behaviors
