ADAPTED PHYSICAL EDUCATION SYLLABUS

 

The Fitness and Health Department offers opportunities required under Chapter 71B of the Massachusetts State Law for individualized instruction. An Individualized Education Program (IEP) describes the specific services that each special education student will receive in Fitness and Health.
