Written from the perspective of someone with her own lived experience of unique learning needs and marginalization, this book prepares educators to effectively serve our increasingly diverse student population, while also addressing certain special education policy issues and over/underrepresentation of RELD students in special education. Featuring real-life examples and practical strategies to start using in the classroom, this book is key reading for any special educator or school leader striving to ensure special education becomes more equitable and effective.
