For more than 20 years the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance has been able to provide services for professionals who serve individuals with disabilities. Not only have the nature and extent of those services varied over the years, but so have the entities providing the services.

The article traces the recent history culminating in the merger of the Alliange programs and services on individuals with disabilities.
