"The present book entitled Adapted Physical Education has been designed as both a text and a resource in adapted physical education and sport. As a text, it is intended primarily to prepare students majoring in physical education.

This book presents objectives for each chapter, enrichment or learning activities that instructors may use to supplement class lectures, discussions, and readings. It is my hope that instructors will find this manual useful. It is designed with the single purpose of helping the instructor.

As a basic text, it thoroughly prepares the student for the foundational knowledge and skills in the field. Unlike some texts on the market, it is not a watered down outline with a brief treatment of topics." (jacket)
