Health Enhancement Services
NJAPE is proud to announce a meaningful service for children and young adults. Families and individuals will have the ability to pay an extremely reasonable fee to have a NJAPE team member come out to their residence and work one to one with their child on various sport skill, fitness and wellness activities.
Sports Disability Training
Youth and high school sports programs are faced with the complex challenge of providing equal access and play for all athletes. However, in most cases coaches and athletic directors receive little to no training on how to incorporate the needs of athletes with disabilities. Our program takes coaches and athletic directors through the sport specific and general modifications needed to effectively ensure the success of all individuals.
Summer Camp Program
NJAPE Summer Camp Programs are designed to create meaningful interactions between children with and without special needs. The camp experience is designed to be inclusive and open to all individuals.
Testimonials
- James was over again last night and this time he ended up with both my boys. It was incredible to watch. I have been keeping my younger son away for obvious ability reasons. But James had the two of them playing together and had my younger son cheering and encouraging Robert. He is a great guy.
- Hi Matt, Chelsea was great! We were very happy to meet her. She is enthusiastic and cooperative. Christina hit it off with her immediately. Thank you for this wonderful program. We would also like to receive info about Girls Stand Up.
- Freshman and club president Nicole Francis explained how Unified Sports came to the university. “The Unified Sports program has been featured at other colleges as a program offered to students, and Matt Schinelli has done a great job as the club adviser in bringing Unified Sports to Montclair State.”
- Thank you for the fantastic interview! Your knowledge and insight is certainly encouraging and raises an awareness for how true authentic inclusive programs should run. On a personal note, you have given me some much needed information that changes my perspective on my son's high school sport experience!
- Sorry to have missed last night’s tenant meeting. Thanks for visiting with our tenants. You and your colleague got rave reviews. Will look for opportunities to involve and connect you in our work going forward.
- The information you shared during that class would be perfect for an opening day discussion. Let me know if it fits your schedule. I'm so excited to have you share with my staff in September.
- You were a model participant for ourMeet the Experts event; punctual, flexible, offering yourself and your skill above and beyond expectation, and so much more. For me the goal was all about achieving the best possible benefit to conference attendees who signed up for Meet the Experts. GOAL ACHIEVED; your contribution sealed the deal on that objective.
- Thank you again for you workshop. We all thought very highly of your insight and ability to easily convey the knowledge that you have acquired in adapted physical education. We are excited about implementing some of your ideas into our program. Thank you for the information and binder that you provided us as well. Looking forward to seeing you speak again at the NJAHPERD convention in Feb. We will update you on our progress as it occurs!
- Thank you so much for yesterday! You and your partner did a great job. You were very informative and delivered very realistic information. It makes a lot of difference, when the presenter is still in the trenches as a teacher and is able to bring first hand and current experience to the table. The staff was very pleased.
- My name is Anthony Abeal and I am a principal in the Wall Township School District. Last year, you provided a workshop to our physical education teacher that focused on adapted physical education. Would you be interested in providing another workshop?
- Thanks for sharing this presentation with me. Sounds like you have created a good model for GPE/APE teachers in NJ to follow when making decisions regarding children with disabilities and PE. Very comprehensive with good examples.
