This comprehensive textbook examines adapted physical activity across the disciplinary spectrum. From the history of adapted physical education to current practices in rehabilitative medicine, working with children with emotional disabilities to developing care plans for adults with movement limitations, this collection surveys issues and helps students plan sensible, well-grounded programmes. This is an essential volume for students, teachers, and practitioners in physical education, physical and occupational therapy, rehabilitative or sports medicine, nursing, and health science, as well as anyone who works with people who have disabilities.
"Thirty-two chapters by researchers and service providers brings socio-cultural, psychological, and functional perspectives to the discussion of sports, physical education, and recreation. Emphasising issues of inclusion, the textbook addresses the developmental and current state of physical activity opportunities across the continuum of schools, community, and elite sport." -- Reference & Research Book News, November issue.
