 As a quarterly publication and premier resource on adapted physical activity, PALAESTRA's mission is

  • to enlighten parents in all aspects of physical activity, making them the best advocates for their children during IEP (Individualized Educational Program) discussions with school or community recreation staffs;
  • to increase the knowledge base of professionals working with children or adults with disabilities, making them aware of the "can do" possibilities of their students/clients;
  • to show the value physical activity holds for adult readers' increased wellness.
