3 PREFACE Public Law -76 (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act - IDEA) and Louisiana Revised Statue 7:9 et seq. mandate the inclusion of physical education instruction in the special education program of all students with disabilities. Physical education is defined as the development of ) physical and motor fitness; ) fundamental motor skills and patterns; and 3) skills in aquatics, dance and individual and group games and sports. Adapted physical education is defined as specially designed physical education for students with disabilities who may not safely or successfully engage in unrestricted participation in the vigorous activities of the general physical education program on a full time basis. In Louisiana, students with disabilities who are unable to participate successfully in a general physical education program are screened and evaluated through a process established by the Pupil Appraisal Handbook. The Pupil Appraisal Handbook includes an evaluation of the physical education competency level of the student. The requirement to evaluate the physical education competency level of the student during the initial appraisal process was introduced in 98. Considerable controversy surrounded the concept of using a competency-based assessment with students with disabilities because many individuals suggested that non-disabled children could not "pass" the test. No data had been available either to support or refute the argument. In 989 a two-year study initiated by the Office of Special Educational Services validated the use of a competency test in determining the need for adapted physical education. The end product of the study was a fully standardized edition of CTAPE: Competency Testing for Adapted Physical Education. Since its introduction in 989, the CTAPE has been reviewed and revised twice. The most recent review took place during the school year of 6-7. The Department of Education (DOE), Division of Educational Improvement and Assistance sponsored a year-long study of the document by professionals throughout the state. Committee members identified items that had been problematic in discriminating between children who were able to function in general physical education and those who were in need of adapted physical education. The committee made significant recommendations to clarify administration and scoring procedures and to improve test discrimination. A total of thirty-five items across the six levels were modified at this stage. The recommendations were approved by the DOE and the revised instrument was fieldtested again. The 7 results were similar to those obtained in 989 and 99. The CTAPE differentiates between children who have average motor skills and children who have significantly below average motor skills. This revised edition of CTAPE continues to meet the requirements of the Pupil Appraisal Handbook and in identifying school age students eligible for adapted physical education services in Louisiana. Included in the appendix of this edition of CTAPE is a chart that contains all test items in Levels I - VI. Each test item has been linked correlated to the physical education standard(s) published by the Louisiana DOE for teachers and curriculum developers. These references will provide adapted and general physical education teachers with the information needed to appropriately modify instruction in specific skill areas for students

4 with disabilities.

5 INTRODUCTION CTAPE is not biased against a racial or gender group, and is, in fact, fairly well balanced with regard to its being challenging without being frustrating. CTAPE discriminates between children who have average motor skills and children who have significantly below average motor skills. In this case significantly below is defined as different from 9% or more of the population. Children with motor skills that differ to this extent clearly need special help. Ninety percent, rather than the. standard deviation, is used because the criterion-referenced standards used in the CTAPE do not meet the assumptions of parametric statistics and 9% is an approximatation of. standard deviations as a non-parametric technique. Assessment is one of the most important aspects of the total educational program; without it an appropriate program of instructional activities cannot be developed. The information obtained through this process will assist the adapted physical educational teacher and the IEP team in determining the type of physical education program needed to meet individual student needs. Because instruction for students with severe disabilities may begin with functional skills at a much lower level than those identified in CTAPE, additional assessment instruments may be utilized to obtain baseline data. Although there is no mandate, best practice indicates the use of a developmental assessment in addition to CTAPE to determine an accurate motor functioning level for students with severe disabilities. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE TEST LEVELS CTAPE consists of six testing levels, each addressing the identified grade level minimum standards in the competency-based curriculum for regular physical education. Chronological age is the determining factor in selecting the appropriate testing level. Test Level I II III IV V VI Age Group 6 Years Months 7 Years 7 Months 9 Years Months Years Months 3 Years Months Years Months and Older years 6 Months 8 Years Months Years Months Years Months Years Months SUMMARY PROFILE The first page of each test level is the summary profile. Once completed, the summary provides, at a glance, the movement profile of a student. The profile will indicate whether the student is average, poor in one type of skill, or weak in all areas. The bold column of numbers represents passing scores; the scores to the left of the bold numbers indicate scores that are not acceptable (failing); NA indicates not attempted. NA may be a result of an inability to perform (physical impairment) or refusal to perform (non-compliant behavior).

6 Examiners should include their specific comments and recommendations for physical education or adapted physical education on the summary profile sheet. The information then should be provided to the IEP team. Recommendations should be based on the results of the CTAPE and any additional information or assessment results obtained by the evaluator. TESTING PROCEDURE Step. Step. Step 3. Step. Step. Step 6. Select the appropriate level to be administered. Read through the test and gather the appropriate equipment. Record the personal data on the Summary Sheet (e.g., date of birth, name, etc.). Include any pertinent information. Begin assessment by administering the test, preferably in sequential order. Testing must be completed within five days, but may be completed within one session. e items that have practice trials and items that should be demonstrated. This information is supplied in the margin next to the individual items. Record the score for each part of each item by circling the appropriate score. Compute the totals for each item and record the total score in the box at the lower righthand corner. Transfer the item totals to the summary sheet provided for the test level. All possible scores are not presented on the summary sheet, so make a circle approximately where the exact score would be located. Count the number of circles falling to the left of the bold numbers: bold numbers represent passing scores. Multiply the number of circles by four. Subtract this number from to obtain a percentage score. To check the answer, count the number of bold numbers circled and the number of circles to the right of the bold numbers. Multiply the total number of circles by four. The two answers should match. If these do not match, count the circles again to make sure each item on the test has been administered and recorded.

7 Step 7. Identify the level of deficit; identify strengths, weaknesses, and individual needs. Provide recommendations for instructional services and make a professional recommendation for programming as appropriate for IEP Committee consideration. Deficits: 7% - % Indicates motor skills are in the average range. The student does not qualify for adapted physical education services. 69% - % Indicates a mild motor deficit; the student is eligible for adapted physical education services. Full time or part time services may be considered. % - % Indicates a moderate motor deficit; adapted physical education on a full time basis should be considered. 9% - % Indicates a severe motor deficit; adapted physical education in small instructional groups on a full time basis should be considered. Step 8. Copies of the test and the score sheet (Summary Profile) should go into the adapted physical education teacher file. -
