Hello to the What's New in Adapted PE listeners! We have been on a little bit of a hiatus for the last few months as we felt it was time to rethink the direction of the podcast and give it a fresh focus. Over the past few months, we've been reflecting on how to make the content more impactful, and decided to take a more focused approach. We will be attempting to create "seasons" where we'll be zeroing in on the research-to-practice gap in Adapted Physical Education—how we can better connect the latest research with practical application in the field. I'll try to consistently release episodes every two weeks until the season wraps up, featuring insightful discussions with experts and educators. This podcast has some of these insights into these reflections and plans. Stay tuned for new content in two weeks!

David is joined by Dr. Haylie Miller, an acclaimed researcher on autism and exercise from the University of Michigan. Our conversation is an eye-opening exploration of the theory and research on exercise and autism, aimed at equipping fitness professionals with the knowledge to successfully bridge the gap with the autistic population.Dive right in as we illuminate the unique challenges faced by individuals with autism and how the research informs an evidence-based methodology for working autistic individuals.  A focal point of our conversation is the service cliff that autistic people encounter post-schooling, and how the fitness industry can extend an essential lifeline.  David and Dr. Miller's unique perspective make this a thought-provoking and highly practical conversation that you won't want to miss!Show Notes Page: https://wellnessparadoxpod.com/episode102Our Guests: Dr. Haylie L.

Hello APE Viewers! I recently had the opportunity to sit down with two scholars who recently authored a chapter in the textbook "Routledge Handbook of Adapted Physical Education" called Public Health Research. These scholars included Dr. Byron Lai, an assistant professor within the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Dr. Heidi Stanish an associate professor of Exercise and Health Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Within their co-authored chapter, they define public health as "the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and prompting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private communities, and individuals" (Winslow, 1920, p. 30). During this podcast episode we discuss the relationship between public health and adapted physical activity (APA) and the existing research related to physical activity and sedentary behaviors among people with disabilities that currently exist. We also highlight the lack of research in these areas, what we can do with the research available, and why it is important to use a public health lens when promoting the field of APA and adapted physical education.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Nancy Spencer and discuss some of her work and perceptions towards disability and disability models. Disability models are used to view and conceptualize disability, as well as to understand how society interacts and impacts disability. Dr. Spencer is an Associate Professor at the University of Alberta in the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation. Dr. Spencer has written numerous articles questioning how we view disability in the field of adapted physical activity. Recently she wrote a book chapter called "Disability Language in Adapted Physical Education", along with Drs. Peers and Eales, in the Routledge Handbook of Adapted Physical Education. In addition to her work on disability models, Dr. Spencer's research interests are in the areas of adapted physical activity and children’s physical activity. According to her faculty page, she is "committed to understanding how to facilitate inclusive and meaningful experiences in play, sport (parasport) and recreation for children and specifically people who experience disability, using qualitative approaches to research".

Adapted physical educators can take the APENS exam, which is based off of the 15 standards, to become certified adapted physical education. This allows us schools and other education stakeholders (e.g., teachers, parents) to understand who is qualified to teach APE with the special skills and insights needed to properly teach physical education to students with disabilities. This podcast features a panel of 3 guests, including the founder of APENS Dr. Luke Kelly from the University of Virginia; Dr. Tim Davis from SUNY Cortland who currently runs the day to day operations of APENS; and Toni Bader, an APE teacher for the Seattle School District that is passionate about ensuring that APE teachers are qualified to teacher students with disabilities.

In this 2nd part of a two part episode, I had the opportunity to sit down and have in-depth conversations with multiple experts who were somehow connected to the Minnesota Developmental Adapted Physical Education (DAPE) conference. In this episode I was able to meet with two of the DAPE keynote speakers who discussed their presentations and why their topics were of great importance to the field. The two keynote speakers were Lara Brickhouse, the 2017 SHAPE APE teacher of the year; and Dr. Suzanna Dillon, my dissertation adviser :) and the president of the National Consortium for Physical Education for Individuals with Disabilities. With listening to this podcast, it is my hope that (1) some of the listeners learn about the great things that are occurring at APE conferences and the impact of that leadership has on our field; and (2) that if you are in a state that does not have an APE conference of leadership, that you might consider developing one yourself or with a small group of other passionate APE teachers.
