Recenzii
’Jeffress provides a masterful integration of how specific communicative practices can offer an affirming atmosphere and a sense of belonging and normalcy to people participating in sports despite great physical limitations.’ William J. Brown, Regent University, USA ’In his book, Jeffress focuses on the many opportunities through participation in sport that can be enjoyed by electric wheelchair users. This book fine-tunes the journey to independence through sport. The able-bodied reader also comes away with a better understanding of how important our own empathy and support can be in improving the quality of life for those with disabilities and thus society at large.’ Jeanne Murphy, Nicholls State University, USA and Chef de Mission, 2004 US Paralympic Team, Athens
"I recommend Communication, Sport and Disability for disability scholars as well as anyone interested in the development of disability sport in America. Jeffress has written a book that is very clear and readable which touches on a unique subject matter from a perspective - that of power wheelchair athletes - not often represented in the disability sport literature."
- Shauna Cappe, Disability and Sport, Vol 31, Issue 7, 2016
"Using language based on grounded theory, the author effectively meets his goal of empowering the voices of his research participants. What makes this book especially interesting is that the author is part of the community on which he writes...The book is an excellent read for parents or family members of persons with disabilities. Although it is based on a strong qualitative research design and efforts to ensure academic rigor, Jeffress has taken an approach in his writing that makes the book readable for all audiences."

Descriere
Sports are ubiquitous in American society, and given their prominence in the culture, it is easy to understand how most youth in the United States face pressure to participate in organized sports. Using ethnographic research conducted while attending practices, games, and social functions of power soccer - the first competitive team sport specifically designed for electric wheelchair users, now played in more than 30 countries - Jeffress builds a strong case that electric wheelchair users deserve more opportunity to play sports.
