- "PALAESTRA is a comprehensive
resource on sport, physical education, and recreation for individuals
with disabilities. It delivers valuable information for people
with disabilities of all ages, their families, and professionals
who require timely information in this growing arena of interest
and activity. This one journal provides lifespan coverage of
teaching techniques, training methods, special events, new products,
research applications, recreation programs, adapted equipment
and facilities, and more. It covers biological, psycho-social,
and administrative topics. It is the first resource for information
on world and Paralympic Games, many other championships, and
provides a calendar of events. Most importantly, it is an invaluable
forum for current issues, certification information, legislative
updates, and advocacy issues. PALAESTRA provides readers with
the knowledge needed to make a difference. It all comes down
to professionalism.
Indeed, if you care about what you are
doing, you will want to stay informed to do the best job possible.
PALAESTRA fits the need for a cross-disciplinary approach to
disability education and service with a lifespan approach. Teachers,
professors, students, researchers, program directors, athletes,
and loved ones of persons with disabilities can ill afford not
to have PALAESTRA by their sides."
