The National Consortium for Physical Education for Individuals with Disabilities (NCPEID) plays a leading role in shaping the direction of adapted physical education and adapted physical activity nationwide.

NCPEID, formerly known as National Consortium for Physical Education and Recreation for Individuals with Disabilities (NCPERID), was founded in 1975 by a group of higher education professionals committed to advancing personnel preparation, research, demonstration projects, and service in adapted physical education and adapted physical activity.

NCPEID's mission is to promote, stimulate, and encourage legislative mandates, professional preparation, advocacy, and research in physical activity, physical education, and recreation for individuals with disabilities. NCPEID supports the development of high-quality programs and services and disseminates professional information to assist its members.

Membership is open to individuals engaged in professional preparation, research, advocacy, or program development related to physical education, physical activity, and recreation for individuals with disabilities. University faculty, public school professionals, residential and community-based practitioners, and professionals in related fields are encouraged to join and contribute to NCPEID’s mission to advance equitable, high-quality opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
