The authors further the subject matter by including not only implications to the classroom, but keys on how to best apply this new knowledge to teaching practice. Unique to characteristic books on the market, Understanding Physical, Health, and Multiple Disabilities has "knowledge to practice" chapters that provide practical information related to the various sections of the book. Students will gain a clear insight to physical, health, and multiple disabilities commonly found in the school setting, including neuromotor impairments, orthopedic and musculoskeletal impairments, sensory loss, degenerative and terminal illness, health impairments, and infectious diseases. The text allows future teachers to come away with the best preparation for providing a safe, healthy school environment and an effective teaching environment for all children with physical, health, and multiple disabilities.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Understanding Physical, Health, and Multiple Disabilities (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
I was very pleased with the book. The condition was great. I bought a used book in "good" condition and I couldn't be happier. It arrived VERY fast. Thank You. I will buy from this dealer again.
