Synopsis:
Completely updated and expanded, the new edition of Adapted Physical Education and Sport provides a thorough introduction for students preparing to work with individuals with disabilities in a variety of settings. Editor Joseph Winnick, one of the country's most respected voices in adapted physical education, expands the scope of the popular previous edition to include the following: ? An update on changes in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act occurring since the last edition of this book and the effect of these changes on today's physical education programs ? Coverage of significant trends in adapted physical education and sport, with new emphasis on inclusion in the real world ? New, reader-friendly features like at-a-glance chapter previews, real-life scenarios, highlighted special topics, application examples, and more Web-based resources Dr. Winnick and 16 leading experts including six new contributors provide a wealth of information to students, teachers, and other professionals who provide individualized programs to children from birth up to age 21. The book features much new content, including a new chapter devoted to adapted sport and reports on recent advances in measurement and evaluation, identification of the most appropriate settings, physical fitness testing and programming, and expansion of competitive sport programs. It's no surprise that Adapted Physical Education and Sport, third edition, is a respected textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses. With its focus on both physical education and disabilities, it provides breadth and depth of information that's valuable for future physical educators regardless of whether they intend to specialize in adapted physical education. Outside the classroom, it is a practical resource that will simplify the lives of practicing professionals in schools, agencies, and other groups who must bring programs in line with complex new laws.
