| Abstrakt: | The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (2004), commonly known as IDEA, emphasizes the use of technically sound instruments and best practices in evaluation within public schools. Despite the importance of assessment in adapted physical education (APE), there is a notable lack of research focusing on APE teachers' knowledge and confidence in assessment procedures. A recent investigation aims to fill this gap by surveying APE professionals' understanding and comfort with assessment practices. Eighty-one participants completed a 70-question survey regarding APE Assessment Procedure and Evaluation. Based on the results, a need for more practitioner-friendly APE assessment resources and ongoing professional development opportunities are needed. Despite challenges, adherence to IDEA mandates and best practices in assessment is essential for ensuring equitable access to education and appropriate services for students with disabilities.
