The Developmental Adapted Physical Education (DAPE) program is about empowering people with disabilities through movement, physical activity, aquatics, and sport. Students in this minor program will learn how to adapt and modify activities and skills for individuals with disabilities to promote health and well-being throughout their life span. Coursework focuses on both content knowledge and practical experiences so that students can apply what they have learned in school and community settings.
