Description
Adapted Physical Education and Sport is a book for teaching exceptional children. It emphasizes the physical education, not just the impairments, of young people with disabilities. It gives greater emphasis to sport than many other introductory texts. It combines developmental and community-based approaches. All this and more has been compiled into 27 chapters, written by a group of national experts and edited by Joseph P. Winnick, a renowned adapted physical educator. The result - a text for future physical educators of children with physical and mental disabilities, unique needs requiring special classes, needs that allow them to be mainstreamed into regular classroom settings, injury- or illness-related problems, and medical conditions such as diabetes and asthma. These features, plus extensive coverage on organizing and managing adapted physical education and sport programs, make Adapted Physical Education and Sport an ideal text for Physical Education Initial Teacher Training Courses, an excellent resource for all physical education teachers of participants with special needs, and a reference for the physical part of therapeutic recreation.
