Most texts focus on a narrower perspective, such as in school, in a medical or community setting, or with a certain age group. However, this book looks at all the professions that are involved in a person’s life throughout the life span and offers a coordinated approach.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdapted Physical Activity Across the Life Span\u003c\/i\u003e will help prepare future professionals to serve individuals who require adaptations to be able to enjoy full and healthy active lives over their lifetimes.
