This book takes a distinctive approach to exploring the experiences
and identities of minoritized Latinx mothers who are raising a
child who is labeled as both an emergent bilingual and dis/abled.
It showcases relationships between families and schools and reveals
the myriad of ways in which school-based decisions regarding
disability, language and academic placement impact family dynamics.
Treating the mothers as experts, this book uses testimonios to
explore not only what mothers know but also how they develop funds
of knowledge and how they apply them to their child's education.
The stories shed light on how mothers perceive their child's
disability, how they engage with their child and the value they
place on bilingualism. The narratives reveal the complex lives
mothers lead and the ways in which they strive to meet the academic
and socioemotional needs of their children, regardless of the
financial, physical and emotional costs to them. This book has
significant implications for researchers and professionals working
in bilingual education, special education, inclusive education and
disability studies in education.
