This Via Media anthology's eight chapters tend not only to the physical aspects of the instruction of skills, but give special attention to the essential nature of children, their body and minds, and the effects their train have on socialization. Some authors write specifically on the special needs of children with autism, attention deficit, and hyperactivity disorders. A superb Via Media reference work.
