Synopsis

With contributions from leading researchers and practitioners around the world, this book is the first to explore in depth the topic of sport and intellectual disability. Including both theoretical discussion and empirical case-studies, the book covers the full range of contemporary issues and themes, including training and coaching, family support, perceptions of disability, athlete motivation, positive sport experiences, motor development programmes, and social and cultural aspects of disability. Sport and Intellectual Disability is important reading for any student, researcher, coach, teacher, manager or policy maker with an interest in disability sport, physical education, coaching, or mainstream disability studies.
