Physical Education is the only field of education that emphasizes physical taxonomy related to four important taxonomies of education which are physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual. This study aims to explore implementation methods, problems that occur and suggestions for improvement in the teaching of Adaptive Physical Education (APE) for hearing impaired students. This qualitative study is case study design uses interview and observation methods to obtain research data. The selection of respondents used a purposive sampling technique. All respondents are APE teachers in primary special schools in Kuala Lumpur. The findings of the study were analyzed using Grounded Theory. The findings of the study stated that the respondents used mainstream Physical Education textbooks and teaching methods using sign language. The problems that occur are difficult for teachers to adapt teaching based on mainstream Physical Education textbooks, there are none-option teachers who teach at special schools, there is no specific guide for APE subject and there is no APE teaching reinforcement course. The suggestions for improvements obtained are creating an APE teaching module specifically for hearing impaired students, implementing an APE teaching course for special education teachers, placing a Physical Education teacher to teach APE subjects and placing more Teaching Assistants (TAs) during Physical Education teaching. The impact of this study is expected to provide information for the Malaysian Ministry of Education to empower the subjects of APE for hearing impaired students.
