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.
