Book Review: Inclusion Through Sports: A Guide to Enhancing Sport Experiences


Inclusion Through Sports provides teachers and instructors with an in-depth guide to building an effective physical education program for students with and without disabilities. It features six disability sports and demonstrates the numerous games and activities that can be created from these sports so that all students can participate equally.

The book offers an introductory section followed by three categories: (1) invasion games, (2) net games, and (3) court games and track events. Each category features two disability sports. For each sport examined in this book, a guide will offer numerous individual, small group, and teamwork games, as well as easy-to-follow adaptation guidelines. Every game follows a similar format that includes game level, formation, equipment, description, and extension.

Inclusion Through Sports also provides these helpful features: (1) a handy inclusion index that enables one to quickly find a sport and identify which disability sports use the same skills as your general physical education curriculum; (2) 228 illustrations that clearly depict the games and techniques used, including wheelchair positioning, purchasing, and maintenance; (3) 36 student functional profiles to help you modify activities for students with low, moderate, and high ability; and (4) several examples of how to apply the games to that assessment and IEP (individualized education plan) process.
