Austin Macauley Publishers LLC Culturally Responsive Orientation and Mobility
Book SynopsisAt last! The field of Orientation and Mobility (O&M) embraces the 21st Century Model for standards-based instruction with these research-based, peer-reviewed, and validated performance standards that correlate to success in career, college and community life. Commensurate with general education curriculum, these learner performance standards give important credibility to O&M instruction by providing measurable, age-appropriate and culturally responsive outcome targets to guide assessment and instruction. For those who don't understand what O&M is and for those who fund it, the O&M CCCRS clearly articulate and justify a learner's need for instruction, justify a level of service needed to meet age-appropriate performance targets and justify the tools need to do the job. This is a must resource for master and novel-level instructors alike.

Emerald Publishing Limited Accessible Instructional Design
Book SynopsisThe Advances in Special Education Technology series is designed to focus international attention on applications of technology for individuals with disabilities. Outstanding researchers from around the world will contribute chapters synthesizing the research evidence on specific types of technology applications that improve access, engagement, and learning outcomes of diverse learners. The scope of contributions will cover subfields known as assistive technology, instructional design, instructional technology, online learning, personalized learning, and universal design for learning and will encompass both formal and informal learning settings across the lifespan. Instructional designers often fail to consider issues of accessibility when creating educational materials. As a result, students with disabilities frequently encounter physical, sensory, or cognitive barriers that prevent them from accessing, engaging, and succeeding in learning activities. This volume will examine issues of accessibility and how designers can improve the quality of educational materials by embedding supports that anticipate the special learning needs of diverse learners.Trade ReviewEditor Dave L. Edyburn presents readers with a collection of academic and expert contributions from subfields such as assistive technology, instruction technology, personalized learning, universal design for learning, online learning, and instructional design, that together make a guidebook to contemporary accessible instruction design. The six selections that make the main body of the text cover designing for differences, creating and maintaining a web of accessibility, universal design for online learning, and many other related subjects. -- Annotation ©2016 * (protoview.com) *Table of ContentsAccessible Instructional Design: Designing for Differences.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers A Guide to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy:
Book SynopsisThe prognosis for individuals with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is improving, with some men with DMD living into their 30s and 40s. More vital than ever, this book helps teachers and parents to support children and young people with DMD with their education and transition into adulthood.Leading experts on DMD explain Duchenne and its impact in easy-to-understand terms. Going beyond physical management, particular focus is put on learning and behavioural issues, including speech delay and difficulty learning to read, as well as common comorbid conditions, such as ADHD, autism and OCD. Raising aspirations, the book gives guidance on effective support in the classroom and advice on the transition to adulthood, employment and independent living.Trade ReviewThis book will support young people with DMD and their families to find solutions ahead of problems, so that they can transition into adulthood with the best support possible, and make the most of all opportunities. -- Tyran Hawthorn, Trustee of DMD PathfindersThere is much to recommend this wide-ranging reference for the DMD community - from the importance of phonics mastery to job seeking. -- Deborah Robins, parent and Muscular Dystrophy Queensland AmbassadorThis truly is a go-to guide; written in such a clear format and with the breadth of important aspects of living with Duchenne. Following from Action Duchenne's learning and behavioural toolkit, this will prove an invaluable resource to the community and complements the forthcoming updated standard of care guidelines. Very positive and inspirational, a must read for all. -- Diana Ribeiro, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Research, Action DuchenneThis inspirational book goes 'above and beyond' the journey of the physical and medical challenges associated with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Case studies that will touch your soul but inspire your heart. Offering refreshing, crisp, deeper perspectives supporting parents, teachers and clinicians; to focus on the individual person and not just their condition on their road to adulthood. -- Christopher Wilson, Deputy Head Teacher, Wilson Stuart School (Special Academy for young people with physical disabilities and complex medical needs)With medical interventions, boys with Duchenne are living into adult years. Traditionally, social and educational expectations have been lacking. This book will challenge your expectations as a parent or teacher. Encompassing neuro-developmental disorders associated with Duchenne, this book offers developmental recommendations for interventions, and empowers parents to successfully support boys into adulthood. -- Michelle Pomeroy, Developmental Educator and mother of a boy with DuchenneThis book is long overdue and will be a welcome resource for parents, caregivers, teachers and patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. It provides a compass with which to navigate the world of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, giving patients and caregivers the tools they need to manage the emotional, behavioural and learning challenges that sit alongside the physical realities of DMD. I found the chapter on talking to your children especially helpful, as I am very often asked by families when is the "right time" to tell their children. This books shows that although there is no right time, there are ways of addressing these unbelievably difficult conversations that will help. And there is lots else in the book to give parents the hope that their children can shoot for the stars and create as Dr Jon Hastie so movingly describes, a "fantastic life". -- Emily Crossley, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Duchenne UK and Mum to Eli with DMDOur son, Fraser, is 17 and has DMD and ASD. He also has specific learning difficulties associated with DMD. I am sure that both parents and professionals would benefit greatly from this book. Many professionals who worked with Fraser in his early years, especially in mainstream educational settings, would have gained much from it. DMD is a rare condition and add to that the complications of behavioural and learning difficulties and there are few who have the skills and/or the will to go beyond the standard interventions. If they had had access to straightforward information about the issues and guidance on how to address them many difficulties would have been avoided. The book is a "go to" source of information, inspiration and signposting and will encourage parents to be more creative and assertive in trying to ensure their children have good lives. -- Julia Carr, GatesheadThis book gives an excellent overview of DMD and provides a very valuable guide to the journey made for both parents and professionals. It has concise easy-to-read details on the complexities that come with DMD and practical tips. I particularly enjoyed reading about the inspirational adults with DMD and would highly recommend this book to all affected by Duchenne. -- Claire Bosanquet, parent to two sons with DMDThe practical guidance included in this book, with chapters on behaviour, EHC plans, transitioning to adulthood and work, will be invaluable to all parents, educators and health professionals supporting a young person with DMD. It's a must read which you will return to again and again. -- Claire Binns, SENCO, Frederick Bremer School, WalthamstowThis book is an accessible and actionable study looking at the lesser known barriers to learning and behaviour that young people with DMD experience. It guides teachers and parents to explore how starting early, self-determination, wellbeing and aspiration really matter, not just the focus on physical health. Essential reading for anyone involved in developing aspirations for young people with DMD. -- Margaret Mulholland, Director of Development and Research, Swiss Cottage School Development and Research CentreTable of Contents1.

UCL Press Ableism in Academia: Theorising Experiences of
Book SynopsisRather than embracing difference, academic ecosystems seek to normalize and homogenize ways of working and of being a researcher. As a consequence, ableism is an endemic experience in academia, though to date no attempt has been made to theorize those experiences. Ableism in Academia provides an interdisciplinary outlook on ableism that is currently missing. Through reporting of research data and exploring personal experiences, the contributors explore the concept of what it means to be and to work outside the so-called norm. The volume brings together a range of perspectives, including feminism, post-structuralism, Derridean and Foucauldian theory, crip theory, and disability theory, and draws on a number of related disciplines. Contributors use various schools of theory to raise awareness and increase understanding of the marginalized. These theories are placed in the context of neoliberal academia, and used to interrogate aspects of identity and how disability is performed, and to argue that ableism is not just a disability issue. This timely collection will be of interest to researchers in disability studies, higher education studies, and sociology, as well as to those working across the social sciences.

Multilingual Matters Critical Perspectives on Plurilingualism in Deaf
Book SynopsisThis book is the first edited international volume focused on critical perspectives on plurilingualism in deaf education, which encompasses education in and out of schools and across the lifespan. The book provides a critical overview and snapshot of the use of sign languages in education for deaf children today and explores contemporary issues in education for deaf children such as bimodal bilingualism, translanguaging, teacher education, sign language interpreting and parent sign language learning. The research presented in this book marks a significant development in understanding deaf children's language use and provides insights into the flexibility and pragmatism of young deaf people and their families’ communicative practices. It incorporates the views of young deaf people and their parents regarding their language use that are rarely visible in the research to date.Trade ReviewThis book makes a compelling case for recognising that deaf people have always had, and increasingly will have, diverse language repertoires which must be leveraged with deaf-centered insight for effective education. The plurilingual framework is a refreshing departure from reductionist binaries about language practices and identities entrenched in this field. These scholars inspire us to look and think outside those lines, and to grapple with the reality and potential of language hybridity. * Rachel L. McKee, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand *This is a powerful book which should be required reading by all working in inclusive education settings and deaf education. The editors and chapter contributors have pulled together a multi-country overview of the successes of sign-language based education, but also a clear-eyed view of the policy failures in multiple countries which have stymied efforts to ensure deaf children receive linguistically appropriate education in their national sign languages. Fortunately, the volume also offers a way forward beyond linguistic monolingualism and towards a new model of plurilingual sign language environments. * Joseph J. Murray, Gallaudet University, USA *The plurilingual lens definitely is a welcome addition that will help research and practice in deaf education move forward, which will eventually benefit deaf learners. I agree with the editors that this should be the ultimate goal. -- Maartje De Meulder, HU University of Applied Sciences, Utrecht, The Netherlands * Journal of Sociolinguistics, 2022 *Table of ContentsContributors Foreword Kristin Snoddon and Joanne C.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers How Behavioral Optometry Can Unlock Your Child's
Book SynopsisVisual dysfunctions can limit children's concentration, self esteem and school success as they struggle to understand fundamentals such as colors, letters and how to judge distance. With the right help, these obstacles can be overcome, allowing children to reach their full potential and see the world clearly.This accessible book explores how visual problems develop and how they can be reversed through effective and efficient visual therapy. It breaks down myths surrounding visual dysfunction and explains in straightforward terms the various conditions that could be impacting a child's perception, even if they have perfect sight. The visual therapy used in behavioral optometry retrains the brain to perform visual skills more effectively. In these pages there is clear guidance on the array of therapies, techniques and aids available, all of which can make a profound difference to a child's life.This introductory guide to behavioral optometry will be a welcome resource for parents and professionals in search of options to help a child who is experiencing visual problems.Trade Review“In these pages Joel Warshowsky, OD, shows how important it is for the success of behavioral vision care treatments, as well as health care at large, to be caring and empathetic, to listen to one's patients and to find supportive ways to communicate back with them. Over many years he has sung this theme consistently and in harmony with his excellent clinical skills. This book is the pinnacle of his work and encapsulates his caring demeanor in a way that all health care practitioners can learn from and employ in their own practices.” -- Paul Harris, Doctor of Optometry, Associate Professor, Southern College of Optometry, Tennessee, USAThis book should be required reading for every parent, patient and professional who cares for children! It is a fascinating written work full of practical, easy to understand information about vision and your child…This book will become your guide to your child's success. -- Bruchie Barbara Langsam, parent, New York City, USAThis is an interesting book which would be of value to any special needs coordinator or other specialist teacher working with children... A very worthwhile read! -- Mary Mountstephen, SEN Magazine.Warshowsky comes across as a nice guy who has a passion for his field of work. His own experiences as a child and his experience of observing many children who seem to be let down by the education system is what drives his interest in this field. Many children have considerable resources invested in them but still fail to thrive and behavioural optometry, according to Warshowsky, can explain these anomalies... the book is divided into three parts and is clearly written. The first part is concerned with how vision problems affect a child and how this differentiates from sight problems. Part two expands on what vision therapy is and what it entails and finally he discusses specific vision problems and the therapeutic use of corrective lenses. There is a very useful appendix with exercises parents could try, which for a family on low income with no access to a behavioural optometrist could be helpful. -- AsteensTable of ContentsPreface.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Hearing Impaired Infants: Support in the First
Book SynopsisThe tremendous amount of work that goes into the diagnosis and subsequent management of a young child with a permanent sensori-neural hearing loss involves both professionals from health and education services and parents. Though it is now widely accepted by professionals that parents should be regarded as full members of the team supporting the hearing-impaired child, many still do not have a clear idea of what this means in practice. The purpose of this book is to share information about this work among all those involved. Written by professionals who have long experience of working in real co-operation with parents and who allow the voice of parents to come through clearly, the book has two main aims. First, to convey in a clear and readable way what professionals do, the language they use, what influences their decision-making and some of the ramifications of hearing impairment; and, secondly, to convey to professionals what it is like to discover that your child has a hearing impairment and to show what professionals can learn from parents about the experience of living twenty-four hours a day with a child who does not hear well.Table of ContentsAudiological Indentification and Assessment.

Gallaudet University Press,U.S. Literacy and Deaf Education – Toward a Global
Book SynopsisInternational perspectives about literacy and deaf students is an uncharted intellectual landscape. Much of the literacy research in deaf education is conducted in English-speaking countries—primarily the United States—but 90% of deaf children live outside the U.S. and learn various signed and spoken languages, as well as diverse writing systems. Many of these children face significant educational challenges. In order to improve the literacy outcomes of deaf students around the world, it is imperative to study how children are using their local signed and spoken languages along with Deaf culture to learn to read and write. This volume fills a void in the field by providing a global view of recent theoretical and applied research on literacy education for deaf learners. Literacy and Deaf Education: Toward a Global Understanding is organized by region and country, with the first part discussing writing systems that use alphabetic scripts, and the second part focusing on countries that use non-alphabetic scripts. Some examples of the wide spectrum of topics covered include communication methodologies, curriculum, bilingual education, reading interventions, script diversity, and sociocultural development, including Deaf cultural developments. The contributors provide the results from literacy projects in fifteen countries and regions. This volume aims to widen the knowledge base, familiarize others in the field with these initiatives, and improve global understandings and outcomes of literacy teaching and learning in deaf education from birth to high school. Signed chapter summaries are available on the Gallaudet University Press YouTube channel.Trade Review"By having information provided in this book, one can more competently analyze universal theoretical models of literacy development of deaf and hard-of-hearing children and pinpoint universal challenges in learning to read and write, beyond the constraints of a specific language...To conclude, I see this book as a valuable resource to (international) researchers, students, and professionals working with deaf and hard-of-hearing children and students who are interested in literacy issues in deaf education on a global scale." -- Iva Hrastinski * Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education *

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Special and Inclusive Education: A Research
Book SynopsisThis book fills a gap in the dissemination of practitioner research on special and inclusive education in Ireland. The successful implementation of an inclusive education policy is a process which depends largely on the attitudes, knowledge and competencies of teachers. In this volume, teacher-researchers report on work undertaken within the Special Education Department of St Patrick’s College, Drumcondra, Dublin. The studies are grouped around three key issues: responding to diversity, access to the curriculum and collaboration for inclusion. They offer valuable insights into the challenges and barriers to inclusive education and point to ways that schools can address these challenges from the perspective of small-scale research. The authors draw on a range of research methodologies, from single case experimental design to case studies, in order to illuminate the issues at the level of the individual student, teacher, class and school. The book is relevant to all who have an interest in practitioner research, the implementation of inclusive education and how policy translates in individual contexts.Table of ContentsContents: John Pringle/Anne McGough: School Completion and Resilience: Reflections on a Case Study from the Perspective of Inclusion – Siobhán Kelly/Ann Marie Farrel: Making the Transition: Exploring Pupils’ and Parents’ Experiences of the Move from a Special Class in Primary School to Post-Primary Schooling – Pauline Kerins/Thérèse Day: Factors Influencing the Transfer of Pupils with Mild General Learning Disabilities from Mainstream Schools to Special Schools for Pupils with Mild General Learning Disabilities – Margaret O’Donnell: Teachers’ Efficacy Beliefs for Including Pupils with Special Educational Needs in Irish Mainstream Primary Schools – Aisling Cleary/Geraldine Haye: An Exploration of Irish Teachers’ Perceptions of the Inclusion of Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders in Mainstream Primary Schools – Fionnuala Drudy/Margaret O’Donnel: Post-Primary Inclusive Education for Students with Moderate General Learning Disabilities: Perspectives of Teachers and Support Personnel – Fiona Cronin/Zita Lysagh: Challenges Met When Introducing Assessment for Learning to Students with Dyslexia: A Teacher’s Perspective – Niamh Ní Fhoighil/Joseph Travers: The Inclusion of Irish-Medium Students with Special Educational Needs – Mairéad Ní Chiaruáin/Joseph Travers: How Children with Dyslexia Experience Literacy in Irish and English in a Gaelscoi – Deirdre Murphy/Joseph Travers: Including Young Bilingual Learners in the Assessment Process: A Study of Appropriate Early Literacy Assessments Utilising Both Languages of Children in a Gaelscoi – Colman Motherway: Responding to Diversity: Where Do Students in Special Schools Feel Included? – Sarah Feeney/Maeve Dupont: The School Code of Behaviour: Exploring and Including the Perspective of the Student with Special Educational Needs – Eileen Duffy/Jean Ware: Intensive Interaction: An Intervention to Reach the Child – Anne McGough: Language Teaching and Learning in Inclusive Early Years Classrooms – Zita Lysagh: Towards Inclusive Assessment – Miriam Core/Anita Prunty: Implementing a Computer-Based Reading Intervention in a Special School Setting for Adolescents with Mild General Learning Disabilities – Myriam Hackett/Órla Ní Bhroin: Comprehension Strategies: Do They Improve Access to the Curriculum for Post-Primary Students with Learning Difficulties? – Emer Ring/Anita Prunty: Adapting the Curriculum to Include Learners with Autistic Spectrum Disorders in Irish Schools – Angela Coyle/Tish Balfe: Inclusion and Asperger Syndrome: A Case Study of One Student – Órla Ní Bhroin: Mediated Talk as a Communicative Routine for Inclusion – Emer Kelleher/Anne McGough: Parental Involvement in the Language Development of Pre-School Children from the Traveller Community through the Use of Storybooks – Deirdre Walshe/Ann Marie Farrell: Developing Home-School Collaboration for Children with Special Educational Needs in a Mainstream Setting – Emer Bergin/Anna Logan: An Individual Education Plan for Pupils with Special Educational Needs: How Collaborative Is the Process? – Niamh Keogh/Michael O’Keeffe: Collaboration in an Irish Special School for Students with Moderate General Learning Disabilities – Bairbre Tiernan/Thérèse Day: Supporting Young Children with Reading Dif ficulties: What About Teacher Collaboration? – Elizabeth Doolan/Geraldine Hayes: A Local Network of Learning Support and Resource Teachers Collaborate to Facilitate Inclusion – Claire O’Neill/Anna Logan: Collaboration between Teachers and a Special Needs Assistant through the Implementation of a Co-Teaching Model to Support a Pupil with Special Needs in a Mainstream Classroom.

Verlag Peter Lang Art Therapy Research in Practice
Book SynopsisArt therapy is a developing profession worldwide, and one that is recognised in some countries, but by no means all. Furthering the establishment of art therapy will require the discipline to develop a robust research profile, one that shows it to be an effective intervention with a wide range of client populations within health, social, educational and criminal justice systems. This edited volume makes a significant contribution to art therapy’s evidence base. It reports on innovative art therapy research and conveys, in an accessible and highly readable way, the lived experience of research by art therapy practitioners. Narratives describe a variety of fascinating projects – from a randomised controlled trial to research-based case studies and clinical research that draws on visual and historical methods – that demonstrate a reflexive loop which moves from practice to research and from research back into practice, showing that research is an exciting, accessible and eminently do-able activity. A collaborative approach between the editor and the contributors informs a series of commentaries about both their research findings in relation to the evidence-base of art therapy with children, adults and people with learning disabilities, and the issues that arise for clinical practices and services at the point of delivery.Table of ContentsContents: Andrea Gilroy: Introduction: N=1: Practitioner Research in Art Therapy – Frances Prokofiev: ‘I’ve been longing and longing for more and more of this’: Researching Art Therapy in the Treatment of Children with Developmental Deficits – Uwe Herrmann: The Tangible Reflection: A Single Case Study Investigating Body Image Development in Art Psychotherapy with a Congenitally Blind Client – Hilary Hosea: The Brush’s Footmarks: Researching a Small Community Art Therapy Group – Elizabeth Stirling: Collaboration, Education, Frustration: Integrating Art Therapy into the School Setting – Andrea Gilroy: Commentary: Art Therapy with Children – Barrie Damarell: Shaping Thoughts: An Investigation into the Cognitive Significance of Image-Making for People with Learning Disabilities – Robin Tipple: Art Therapy and Diagnostic Assessment – Elizabeth Ashby: Resourceful, Skilful and Flexible: Art Therapy with People who have Severe Learning Disabilities and Challenging Behaviour – Andrea Gilroy: Commentary: Art Therapy with People who have Learning Disabilities – Kevin Jones: Art ‘fer-a-Pee’.

Book SynopsisIn diesem Open.Access-Buch wird gezeigt, dass eine verminderte Fähigkeit zur Simultanerfassung eine Ursache von Rechenschwäche sein kann. Mathematische Lernschwierigkeiten offenbaren sich häufig schon im frühen Grundschulunterricht. Die gängigen Lernmaterialien im mathematischen Anfangsunterricht verwenden zur Mengendarstellung die Kraft der Fünf, die für betroffene Schüler*innen eine besondere Hürde darstellt.In einem Educational Design Research-Projekt wurde gemeinsam mit Personen mit Trisomie 21, dem Down-Syndrom, das mathildr-System entwickelt. Das System eignet sich in der Binnendifferenzierung als Alternative zur Kraft der Fünf und kann zur Entwicklung einer Mengenvorstellung und zum Erlernen des Kopfrechnens verwendet werden. In einer formativen Evaluation wurden die Lernfortschritte von 30 Schüler*innen mit Trisomie 21 im Alter von vier bis 17 Jahren im Zusammenhang mit dem mathildr-System dokumentiert. Ein abschließendes Quasi-Experiment mit 36 Schüler*innen mit Trisomie 21 zeigt zudem, dass sich mathildr zur quasi-simultanen Mengenerfassung eignet. Im Rahmen des Forschungsprojektes wurden Lernmaterialien entwickelt, die Einzug an Schulen gehalten haben.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Trisomie 21: Geistige Behinderung oder Teil einer Neurodiversität?.- Mathematische Lernschwierigkeiten.- Entwicklung der Problemstellung.- Forschungsdesign.- Vorbereitende Forschungsphase.- Entwicklungsphase.- Abschließende Evaluierungsphase.- Diskussion.- Resultat.- Quellen.

Brill Steven J. Taylor: Blue Man Living in a Red World
Book SynopsisA tribute to the influence of one of the “intellectual forbearers” of Disability Studies in Education (DSE), this collection of six essays honors the scholar and activist Steven J. Taylor. The Centennial Professor of Disability Studies, and director of the Center on Human Policy at the Syracuse University School of Education was recognized internationally for his enduring commitment to disability policy, advocacy, and the meaningful inclusion of people with disabilities throughout society. His research, teaching, and scholarship shaped our understanding of disability through a sociological lens honed over decades of enquiry that trace back from his early work on deinstitutionalization and to the present disability trends and controversies. Taylor made clear how we socially construct humanness, belonging, community, and care in much the same way we construct deviance and stigma. Steven J. Taylor: Blue man Living in a Red World provides insight into the theoretical grounding that has fueled DSE research and scholarship for decades. You will also find opportunities for personal reflection about how one might find Taylor’s work intrinsic to current efforts to challenge the persistent segregation and mistreatment of people labeled with intellectual or developmental disabilities. As the third volume in this series that is devoted to unraveling and better understanding the evolution of thought among those recognized as the early voices and critical leaders who laid the foundation for disability studies in education, the contributors to this text reexamine the impact of Taylor’s scholarship on their own thinking, teaching, academic and civic activities. These essays will help you discover that Taylor continues his mentorship of those who ascribe to DSE tenets and more importantly, encourages each of us to use our positions to influence the next generation of disability activists and scholars. Contributors are: Julie Allan, Jennifer Randhare Ashton, Elisabeth De Schauwer, Cheryl M. Jorgensen, Nancy Rice, Janet Story Sauer, Ashley Taylor, Geert Van Hove and Linda Ware.Table of ContentsSeries Introduction Linda Ware Notes on Contributors Introduction: Blue Man Living in Red World: Essays in Honour of Steven J.

Brill Redefining Disability
Book SynopsisThe reality of disability—of what it means to be disabled—has primarily been written by non-disabled people. Disability and disabled individuals are often described with pity, presented as burdens, or are background figures in larger non-disabled narratives. Redefining Disability challenges the outsider-dominated approach to disability by centering the disabled experience. This edited volume, featuring all disabled authors and creators, combines traditional academic works with personal reflections, visual art, and poetry. These works address disability and race, sexuality and disability, disability cultures, accommodation, self-diagnosis, and how we manage the obstacles ableist institutions place in our way. The authors address a variety of disabilities, including sensory, chronic pain, mobility, developmental disorders, and mental illness. It is through these testimonies that we hope to redefine disability on our terms; to clearly state that disability is not a bad word, and that all disabled lives have value. Redefining Disability is interdisciplinary, with broad application for undergraduate courses, graduate seminars, or to read for pleasure. Each entry contains discussion questions and/or activities for educators to use in the classroom.Trade ReviewPraise for Redefining Disability: Redefining Disability offers a unique and vivid combination of lucid explanations and evocative accounts. Featuring essay, narrative, poetry, and photography, this outstanding collection opens a creative window into the richness of disabled experience and calls out systemic ableism that radically diminishes the lives of disabled folks. This provocative, insightful book is essential reading for anyone committed to the work of inclusivity, diversity, equity, and access. - Laura L. Ellingson, PhD, Patrick A. Donohoe, S.J. Professor of Communication, Santa Clara University and author of Embodiment in Qualitative Research Redefining Disability brilliantly takes readers on a tour through disabled people's lives. It skillfully talks frankly and directly to readers through a delightful array of short and pithy chapters covering expansive topics such as disability and pets, the COVID-19 pandemic, disclosure in higher ed, and being chronically ill. There are photographs and poems, short essays and longer ones. It’s at times emotionally raw and other times fun. To make this book extra-teachable, each chapter ends with discussion questions. A celebration of the act of telling disabled people’s stories, Redefining Disability is a must-read. - Laura Mauldin, PhD, NIC, Associate Professor at the University of Connecticut and author of Made to Hear: Cochlear Implants and Raising Deaf Children Redefining Disability is a collection 100% shaped by disabled people, not just through the individual chapters and the perspectives contained in the book, but all the way through editing and indexing. The book takes aim at ableism and discrimination against disabled people through critique, with humour, with powerful imagery and art, with indelible writing, and does so from a diverse range of perspectives. But the book, its authors and editors, are also very intentional about accessibility, modeling the values it promotes with a clear and engaging introduction, through plain language and careful explanations and definitions, and with terrific discussion questions. The result is a book that could be taught in high school, College or University, but also is distinctly non-academic in its appeal. Redefining Disability captures and conveys disability culture and community more successfully, accessibly, and compellingly than any other book you could pick up. - Jay Dolmage, PhD, Professor of English, University of Waterloo and author of Academic Ableism: Disability and Higher Education and the founding editor of the Canadian Journal of Disability Studies.Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments Notes on Contributors Introduction Paul D.
