Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine Adapted Physical Education (APE) practices in a rural state and to determine the preservice and inservice needs of APE teachers in Wyoming. Of the state's 49 school districts 38 responded to a descriptive questionnaire. Results indicated that (a) many school districts did not offer APE programs; (b) minimal, if any, specialization was required of many APE teachers; (c) larger districts tended to employ APE teachers more frequently; and (d) there is considerable need for inservice training. It was concluded that APE practices in Wyoming, as well as the preservice and inservice programs offered at the state university, need to be carefully examined.
