Physical Education for Blind Children

A practical rather than a theoretical reference guide, the book discusses the need of the blind or visually impaired child for physical education. Past and present programs in public and residential schools, recreation and leisure time activities (a guide for parents), sports and interscholastic competition, active games, contests, relays, and wrestling are described. The study considers also physical fitness, achievement scales, and grade levels. An appendix lists successful blind teams and athletes and several exercises and tests. A selected annotated bibliography and index are included. This document is available from charles c thomas, 301-327 east lawrence avenue, springfiled, illinois 62704 for $9.00. (kh).
