Summary

"Totally redesigned and expanded, the second edition of Adapted Physical Education and Sport is one of the most comprehensive textbooks available for tailoring physical education to individuals with unique needs." "Editor Joseph Winnick, renowned for his work in adapted physical education, and 14 learning experts update the popular first edition with broader and more timely coverage of adapted physical education issues and subspecialties; new chapters on nondisabled students, infant and toddler physical activity, preschool adapted physical education, rhythms and dance, and wheelchair sport performance; the implications of new federal legislation like IDEA; the latest information on traumatic brain injury, stroke, autism, and dwarfism; new student-friendly features like highlighted key terms, lists of resources, and easy-to-understand explanations of legal terms; and more than 170 two-color tables and illustrations." "Like its highly successful predecessor, this new edition also offers the information you need to understand various disabilities, provide effective programs for individuals with those disabilities, and modify more than 40 sports and activities for young people with special needs." "The result - an incomparable text and resource for working with individuals who require adapted physical activity."--Jacket.
