They Whispered to Stay Alive ~ Bring Us Home

"Hassan, Dowling, and McConkey have added a pioneering (albeit Eurocentric) reference in the maturing field of adapted sports: a European-based survey of sports opportunities for athletes with intellectual disabilities conducted under the aegis of the Special Olympics. There are currently 4.1 million athletes with intellectual disabilities around the world, making the sports-oriented network the largest in history. This volume examines various strategies of motivating participants with developmental and intellectual disabilities to reach their highest potentials at various skill levels of competition. Every facet of the organizational structure of sporting events under the aegis of the Special Olympics umbrella--from task-oriented movements to the creation of community support for the athletes--is highlighted as essays examine sports for intellectually disabled athletes, including participant-generated dance routines. The narrative flows easily, making the book appropriate for a wide audience, but especially useful to mainstream and adapted-sports researchers and organizations. Summing Up: Recommended. All readers."– D. J. Winchester, Columbia University, CHOICE Magazine 
"This book is … an important factor for participation and personal empowerment."

The Administrative Factor

Chaos erupts in the canine classroom when rambunctious Aggie attends obedience training. When Aggie is expelled from dog school, Ben tries to independently teach his pet, but neighborhood distractions overwhelm the pooch. Active Aggie won't sit or stay until the boy finally pays heed to his blind neighbor's advice and substitutes playing fetch for rigid commands. Ben proves to be the responsible pet parent in the anticipated conclusion when he maturely announces,"You are not a bad dog. But you must learn." Slightly more complex in sentence structure and narrative than its predecessor (Aggie and Ben, 2006), this three-chapter story comically explores the budding friendship between a rowdy pet and her young owner. Dormer's exaggerated angular designs capture the frenzy in calculatedly disproportionate cartoons. Pen-and-ink and watercolors combine thin lines and bold colors to energize Aggie's antics. While undisciplined, Aggie is one lovable pup; with a slight turn of her large head and a flip of her lopsided ears, she demonstrates why dogs are known as children's best friends.&mdash;Kirkus Reviews
