This book purposefully connects practice to research, and vice
versa, through the use of deeply personal stories in the form of
autoethnographic memoirs. In this collection, twenty contributors
share selected tales of teaching students with dis/abilities in
K-12 settings across the USA, including tentative triumphs,
frustrating failures, and a deep desire to understand the dynamics
of teaching and learning. The authors also share an early awareness
of significant dissonance between academic knowledge taught to them
in teacher education programs and their own experiential knowledge
in schools. Coming to question established practices within the
field of special education in relation to the children they taught,
each author grew increasingly critical of deficit-models of
disability that emphasized commonplace practices of physical and
social exclusion, dysfunction and disorders, repetitive remediation
and punitive punishments. The authors describe how their
interactions with children and youth, parents, and administrators,
in the context of their classrooms and schools, influenced a shift
away from the limiting discourse of special education and toward
become critical special educators and/or engage with disability
studies as a way to reclaim, reframe, and reimagine disability as a
natural part of human diversity. Furthermore, the authors document
how these early experiences in the everydayness of schooling helped
ground them as teachers and later, teacher educators, who
galvanized their research trajectories around studying issues of
access and equality throughout educational structures and systems,
while developing new theoretical models within Disability Studies
in Education, aimed to impact practices and policies.
