Professional insight on working with special needs families-from a mom who's been on both sides of the desk

Presents a discussion of how human disability and parental advocacy have been constructed in American society, including recommendations for a more authentically inclusive vision of parental advocacy. The authors provide a cultural-historical view of the conflation of racism, classism, and ableism that have left a deeply entrenched stigma.

This book presents an ethnographic case study of the personal motivations, advocacy, and activation of social capital needed to create and sustain the Immortelle Children's Centre, a private school that has served children with disabilities in Trinidad/Tobago for four decades.

Features case studies that describe real children, school personnel, and family members from the bestselling book, ""Why Are So Many Minority Students in Special Education?"". This book includes the voices and perspectives of stakeholders to show the complexity of the issues and the dilemmas faced by professionals, family members, and children.
