Dr. Carol Leitschuh, Kinesiology lecturer, is co-author of the 9th edition of Special Physical Education to be published in 2010. She co-authored the text with Dr. John M. Dunn, president of Western Michigan University.

This is one of only a handful of textbooks published in America but used world-wide to specifically address pedagogy in adapted physical education/activity. Included in the new text is a chapter on "Nutrition for Healthy Children," which debunks myths about nutrition and offers interventions for the classroom and in family and community systems.
