Over the past five years, members of the APE-CIG have produced the California Community Colleges Adapted Physical Education Handbook, which is available on-line through the Chancellor’s Office web site (see link below). This handbook is an invaluable tool for APE practitioners and administrators alike. The handbook can be found at: http://www.cccco.edu/divisions/ss/disabled/adapted_phy_handbk.htm
