Adapted Physical Education National StandardsAPENS was developed and is provided by the National Consortium for Physical Education for Individuals with Disabilities (NCPEID). The purpose of APENS is to ensure that physical education for children with disabilities be delivered by a qualified Adapted Physical Educator. In order to meet this purpose a set of 15 national standards representing the content a qualified Adapted Physical Educator must know to do their job was developed. In addition, a national certification exam was developed to measure the specialized content.
