How it opens
The problem that will be addressed by this research is whether the Physical Education program at Prince Georges County Public School meets the health and exercise needs of children with autism. The aim of physical education is to enhance physical exertion with the goal of reducing problem behaviors while increasing motor skills and one's overall physical fitness. According to the America's National Standards in Physical Educations, physical education programs should be able to facilitate competency in motor skills, application of strategies related to performance and movement, achievement of a health-enhancing level of fitness, responsible social and personal behaviors, and recognition of the value of physical activity (PGCPS, n.d.). Prince Georges County Public School's physical education program is in line with the mission and standards of the National Standards in Physical Education. The school's physical education program mission is to facilitate total fitness, movement skills, and appreciation of sports and dances among students.
However, accomplishing the Prince Georges County Public School's physical education program mission is quite challenging when it comes to satisfying the health and fitness needs of students with disability. Connecticut State Department of Education (2016) explains that students with disability need adapted physical education to meet their health and physical fitness needs. Given the challenges involved in the provision of adapted physical education programs, schools and other fitness education providers are more likely to deliver low-quality services to children with disability. For instance, the Adapted Physical Education National Standards (APENS) require that physical educators should demonstrate certain instructional competencies to deliver quality services (APENS, 2008). It is against this backdrop that this study will evaluate the effectiveness of Physical Education Program in Prince Georges County Public School, in the State of Maryland to meet the Needs of Children with Autism.

Using an example well
Read it for how the paper is built, not for wording to reuse: how the introduction frames the question, how each paragraph moves from a claim to evidence, and how sources are cited in APA 6. Submitting any part of it as your own work would be plagiarism, and it is written for a different brief than yours.
