In addition to helping you understand the relationship between disabilities and their implications for people through age 21, the authors ground you in the foundational topics for adapted physical education and sport, explore the developmental considerations involved, and outline activities for people with unique physical education needs, suggesting activity modifications along the way.

I was shipped this book so quickly compared to the last person I tried to buy this from on , I was quite surprised. The content of the book is also a great resource, it reviews multiple disorders and activities available. I plan on keeping this book throughout my career, and since it came in great condition with no issues I plan to have it last for a long time. Don't hesitate in purchasing this book, it is definitely worth your time.

This is a prior edition of the book, which was satisfactory for my purposes. Very well-explained, detailed information. Did not have information on the paralympic sport that I coach, but that wasn't why I found the book useful. Extensive information for persons like me who are entering the adaptive sports arena.

This book is extremely informative. It's not a "handbook" and not the kind of book you would want to buy if you want just a simple overview. It goes into great detail and will be useful for a long time, even when a newer version comes out, I believe.

This book has to be one of the best for Physical educators who teach adapted PE. Provides in depth analysis of all disabilities and there possible implications in PE

I choose this book because of the organisation of topics and it tells you a lot of all disabilities and how to see the potentials of these populations.

This book has helpful information. It is a basic college textbook for PE/Kinesiology majors. Good as a resource for all teachers and coaches.

that is really the best choice to me. lower price and good quality. Also, fast shipping is nice.It would be best choice to you.

I needed this book for class. Everything that you need to know... They are in this book! Love it! Buy it
