Synopsis

Now in its third edition, Rethinking Disability offers a comprehensive and updated exploration of ethical approaches to disability and strategies for fostering inclusive education. Organized into three sections―(1) How Knowledge Guides Practice, (2) How Practice Deepens Knowledge, and (3) How Talk Changes Knowledge and Practice―the book addresses the whys and hows of inclusive education for all students, with a particular focus on those with disabilities. This edition examines the history of racial and disability segregation in schools and how politics have shaped equitable education. It provides practical pedagogical strategies and examples of inclusive lessons, helping educators develop their own approaches. The text also explores the role of technology in enhancing accessibility, examines intersectionality’s impact on inclusion, and offers guidance on writing effective IEPs and building advocacy skills.

Each chapter is enriched with contemporary "voices from the field," featuring perspectives from individuals with disabilities, parents, educators, and experts in education and advocacy. With its blend of historical context, practical strategies, and real-world insights, this edition remains an essential resource for creating dynamic, inclusive classrooms and fostering an inclusive school culture.
