The booklet is designed to acquaint the physical education specialist, classroom teacher, special educator, and administrator with the importance of physical education for handicapped students. An initial chapter addresses movement's effects on cognitive, affective, and psychomotor development. A second section outlines definitions of the major handicapping conditions, while the third chapter provides general teaching suggestions and specific ideas for teaching variously handicapped students. Modifications in aquatics, dance, bowling, archery, badminton, and outdoor pursuits are listed for specific handicaps. Considerations involved in least restrictive placement are followed by a discussion of screening procedures and evaluation instruments. A final section touches upon forms, equipment, and resources.
