| Abstract | Since there is scant knowledge of PE facilitation of SPED teachers in the country, it is essential to understand how the educators adapt and modify their materials and tasks. However, most SPED teachers still think about what knowledge and skills must be developed to be able to work effectively with students with special needs. It is for this reason that this study this qualitative research study aims to identify the strategies and challenges of SPED teachers when facilitating PE. This study utilized a two-phased operational framework that consists two phases. Phase one is comprised of selection of twenty-two respondents to answer the survey. On the other hand, phase two focused on six SPED teachers from the survey results and went through on one-on-one interview. Systematic Ecological Model for Adapting Physical Activities (SEMA model) by Hutzler (2007) served as the core framework in creating the contents for these phases. This helped in exploring the various factors of the model: Task, Individual, and Environment. Thematic analysis approach by Braun and Clarke was used to identify patterns across data to derive themes. Results under the factor “Task” revealed the task’s complexity, objectives, equipment, and physical requirement. SPED teachers used a diverse range of specialized tools and resources to support learning and accommodate varying sensory, motor, and communication needs. Moreover, gathered data from the “Individual” discussed why knowing the body’s impairment, function, and motivation are essential in achieving a successful PE class. SPED teachers make assessments and observations to provide a baseline understanding of each student's current abilities, skills, and motivational drive.
