This is a great work by Martin Block whom was a guest professor while I was studying APA masters in Belgium. This book really helps me to guide my undergrad physical education students. This book is a must not only for academics but also for PE teachers, families and even for doctors and physiotherapist

“Once again Martin Block has produced the definitive book on including students with disabilities in Physical Education. The list of contributors is most impressive as well. Any Physical Education teacher, whether they teach Adapted Physical Education or not, needs to have this book!”
Mark Manross, Executive Director, PE Central (pecentral.org) - January 15, 2016
“Simply put, this is the best and most comprehensive book ever written about the teaching of adapted physical education. This should be required reading for every teacher tasked with the teaching of children with disabilities. No matter what grade level you teach, you will truly enjoy reading and implementing the strategies outlined in this book. Kudos to Dr. Block and his great team of contributors!”
