GAMES for People With Sensory. Impairments: Strategies for
Including Individuals of all Ages, published in July 2011 by the
American Printing House for the Blind, is intended to initiate
exploration into adapted physical education, and stimulates the
reader's creativity and resourcefulness. Authors Lauren Lieberman
and James Cowart draw on their extensive experience in teaching physical
education to students of all ages who have visual impairments,
blindness, deaf-blindness, and multiple disabilities. The book's
Game Finder is designed to help teachers locate games and activities
that are appropriate for their students, allowing them to choose by
category, sport skill, physical and motor fitness level, and fundamental
motor patterns and skills. The games and activities included in the book
are creative innovations submitted by 15 teachers, coaches, and leaders
who work in schools or programs for students (from birth to age 26) who
have sensory impairments. The large print edition is printed on heavier
paper stock to accommodate frequent handling and is bound in a 3-ring
binder to allow game pages to be removed for easy use in the gym, on the
field, or at poolside. Both the large print and braille versions are
sold with an accompanying CD-ROM with an HTML file. The cost for either
edition is $59. For more information, contact: American Printing House
