Description
The new edition of Developmental/Adapted Physical Education: Making Ability Count takes a developmental approach to special education and physical education, and focuses on the physical functioning and motor functioning that is relevant to both physical education and adapted physical education instructors. The book incorporates the extensive changes in methodology, teaching techniques, and legal requirements for instructors of individuals with disabilities that have occured over the past 15 years. Drawing on the extensive teaching and coaching experience of all four authors, the book encourages teachers to emphasize what students with disabilities can accomplish, and stresses the importance of a collaborative team approach to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities.
