In support of advocacy efforts, this article reports and highlights publicly available data related to the access of physical education services for students with disabilities. To contextualize these data, special education legislation and current socio-politics of U.S. federal agencies are discussed before drawing from the interactive School Health Map dashboard to provide an overview of physical education access for students with disabilities at both the national and state levels. Advocacy strategies are integrated into these discussions before concluding with suggestions for future efforts that scholars and practitioners may consider for the betterment of these students’ access to physical education
