Disability Studies and the Inclusive Classroom: Critical Practices for Creating Least Restrictive Attitudes

Disability Studies and the Inclusive Classroom: Critical Practices for Creating Least Restrictive Attitudes

• Used Book in Good Condition

<P>This book’s mission is to integrate knowledge and practice from the fields of <STRONG><EM>disability studies</EM></STRONG> and <STRONG><EM>special education</EM></STRONG>. Parts I & II focus on the broad, foundational topics that comprise disability studies (culture, language, and history) and Parts III & IV move into practical topics (curriculum, co-teaching, collaboration, classroom organization, disability-specific teaching strategies, etc.) associated with inclusive education. This organization conforms to the belief that <EM>least restrictive environments</EM> (the goal of inclusive education) necessarily emerges from <EM>least restrictive attitudes</EM> (the goal of disability studies). Discussions throughout the book attempt to illustrate the intersection of theory and practice.</P>
