Sugden and Wade, leading authors in this area, comprehensively cover motor development and motor impairment, drawing on sources in medicine and health-related studies, motor learning and developmental psychology. A theme that runs through the book is that movement outcomes are a complex transaction of child resources, the context in which movement takes place, and the manner in which tasks are presented. The core themes of the book involve descriptions of motor development from conception through to emerging adulthood, explanations of motor development from differing theoretical, empirical, and experiential perspectives, and descriptions and explanations of atypical motor development when the resources of the child are limited in some way.
Readership: Occupational therapists, physiotherapists, paediatricians, teachers (physical education, early childhood development, elementary education), educational psychologists, kinesiology and sports scientists.

demography and religion. Their comprehensive discussion of complex
issues such as methodology, religious identities, and
differing measurements, appeals to scholars in many
disciplines working on religion and demographics. This

will build on."--Rachel M. McCleary, Harvard Kennedy

psychology, special education and physical education, his PhD is
from the University of California at Los Angeles. He has taught in
primary, secondary and special schools as well as lecturing at
college and university level in the UK and the USA. His specialist
research interests include motor development, motor impairment,
motor learning, and children with developmental disorders. His work
centres on the characteristics of typically developing children and
those with various forms of impairment. He is co-author of the most
widely used assessment instrument for motor difficulties, the
Movement Assessment Battery for Children. He is currently Professor
of Special Needs in Education, University of Leeds, UK.
Michael Wade has published extensively in two areas of motor
skill development across the lifespan: one with emphasis on
individuals with motor difficulties and the other being the effects
of ageing on motor skill performance. Dr Wade holds Fellow status
in the American Academy of Kinesiology and the American Academy of
Mental Retardation and is a Past President of the North American
Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity. He
teaches and researches in the areas of motor development, ageing,
developmental disabilities, human factors, and the foundational
aspects of the field of kinesiology. He is currently Professor of
Kinesiology and Professor, Centre for Cognitive Science at the
University of Minnesota, USA.
