Mission: 
The mission of the NC-APE-AC is to promote quality APE services and equal access across the continuum of services for students with disabilities in North Carolina. 
Vision:
The vision of the NC-APE-AC is that individuals with disabilities develop the skills necessary to remain physically active and pursue meaningful lifetime leisure and recreation in their communities.
The council seeks to accomplish this by increasing the number of highly qualified professionals in the field of physical education through certification in Adapted Physical Education, strategic staff development and collaborative efforts with interdisciplinary team members.
In March of 2010, a group of concerns Adapted Physical Educators met at NC Central University to discuss a variety of topics.  The North Carolina Adapted Physical Education Advisory Council (NC-APE-AC) was created during this meeting.  Laurie Ray was appointed to be the DPI Liaison in September 2010. Since this time, the NC-APE-AC has presented at numerous conferences, universities, and institutes, created and submitted guidance documents to DPI, maintained the Adapted PE Corner in the bi-monthly publication - GREAT Activities, and become the primary resource for all things APE in NC.
