This book presents an in-depth 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-one that positions children with
disabilities and children of color as less valuable than others. To
redress these inequities, the authors offer a working model of
co-constructed advocacy designed to benefit all families. Because
advocacy is not a "one size fits all" endeavor, the authors propose
meeting families where they are and learning their strengths and
needs, while preparing and repositioning families to empower
themselves.Book Features: Takes a cultural-historical view that
explores the reasons why individuals with disabilities are so
stigmatized. Shows how the intersection of different stigmatized
identity markers, such as poverty, race, and language, have been
woven into negative interpretations of "difference." Celebrates the
history of parent advocacy in the United States since World War II.
Examines how social and racial privilege have dictated which parent
voices are heard. Proposes collaborative approaches that can
produce more authentic and more representative advocacy. Explores
the motivations and purposes that drive parent advocacy.
