¶ … California's current Adapted Physical Education Guidelines in California Schools Manual. The paper outlines current legislative mandates as sighted through the guidelines and the California Department of Education.
California's APE guidelines stipulate that children suspected to be disabled are liable to assessments in accordance to LEA's procedures to help them find an appropriate physical education. For those found to be eligible for special education, an IEP is created for them offering free and appropriate physical education. In addition, whenever a child's parent agrees to the IPE's decisions to FAPE yet requires the child to attend a private school, they are not liable to receive special education from LEA. On the contrast, students in private schools qualifying for adapted special education are liable to receive a dollar amount of services. The dollar amount is usually determined by number of students in the district that are attending private schools.

Pedagogic Model for Teaching of Technology to Special Education Students Almost thirty years ago, the American federal government passed an act mandating the availability of a free and appropriate public education for all handicapped children.

According to Bales, 1999, the concept behind SYMLOG is that "every act of behavior takes place in a larger context, that it is a part of an interactive field of influences." Further, "the approach assumes that one needs to understand the larger context -- person, interpersonal, group, and external situation -- in order to understand the patterns of behavior and to influence them successfully." With SYMLOG, measurement procedures are
This study also aims at showing the declining attributes of those faced with the unfortunate fate of receiving a poor education. By tracking individual's professional and academic experiences after high school, results should portray a dim picture for those individuals who lack the strong foundations of a good education. Previous research has already shown the negative affects a poor education has on individual's future academic endeavors, professional achievements, as well
