Sinopsis

Welcome to this book! On behalf of my collaborators and myself, I am very pleased you have chosen to read this work. That you choose to read this book is evidence you aspire to further develop your skills, competencies, pedagogy, and strategies towards providing health-enhancing opportunities for students, athletes, and individuals with disabilities who are under your care. This book contains collected works from kinesiology, sport pedagogy, coaching, and physical education professionals at the graduate level, as well as observations and ideas from myself - a professor of kinesiology and sport pedagogy and former personal trainer and grade-school coach and educator. While enrolled in respective undergraduate and graduate courses aimed at enhancing movement, exercise, physical activity, physical education, and sporting experiences for individuals with disabilities, the authors thoroughly researched numerous disorders and/or physical disabilities, explored ideas to enhance movement opportunities for students with said conditions, and wrote chapters for this book aimed at providing suggestions and improvement strategies for teachers, coaches, and other health and movement professionals. Each chapter explains the fundamental characteristics of the disability and describes how educators, coaches, and facilitators of exercise and physical activity can accommodate individuals with said disorder and adapt and/or modify physical education, physical activity, and movement experiences for individuals with the disability under their care. Each chapter also takes steps in educating you - the reader - on how to accommodate, modify, and support physical education and physical activity experiences for individuals in need of adaptation and/or modification.
