Bernabe, Elaine A.; Block, Martin E.

Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps (JASH), v19 n1 p24-31 Spr 1994

Coaches and players were assisted in modifying select rules of a girls' fast-pitch softball league so as to accommodate the skill limitations of a player with moderate to severe disabilities. The girl's batting average and on-base average indicated that modifications were effective. The player was well received by her teammates and other teams. (Author/JDD)
