should actively promote and ensure the right of students with
disabilities to participate in PE programs on an equal basis, and
should make reasonable accommodations in teaching materials
and facilities to meet the needs of students with different types
and levels of disabilities. At present, the promotion of adapted PE
policy faces problems such as teacher training, improvement of
accessible teaching environment and facilities, and
implementation of IEP meetings. The Government should
integrate and improve the relevant resources (including
amendment to law), and attract young people with professional
backgrounds to jointly facilitate the development of adapted PE.
Lack of Individualized Support Strategy and Proactive Intervention

participation in IEP meetings at all school levels. The NHRC found
from the Control Yuan investigation 76 and the feedback from NGO
representatives that IEP meetings at all levels of education tend to be
just a formality. The MOE only finds out the effectiveness of special
education and IEPs through the evaluation of primary and secondary
schools every four years, and there is no mechanism to verify how
effective IEPs are, not even a mechanism to preserve IEP data for
individual students. The MOE became aware of the importance of IEP
data retention only after the Control Yuan investigation. The purpose of
the IEP is to ensure that students with disabilities receive an education
that is appropriate to their individual needs. However, the practical
implementation is often not reasonably accommodated based on the
needs of students, and the objective is not revised with rolling wave
planning, making it difficult to effectively promote inclusive education.
93. Recommendation: The Government should implement the IEP system
in accordance with paragraph 3 of Article 7 of the CRPD, Article 28 of
the SEA, and paragraph 3 of Article 9 of the Enforcement Rules of the
SEA. The Government should actively consider improvement measures
to address the difficulties in implementing the IEP in teaching practice
(e.g., insufficient administrative support in schools; insufficient
