Enhancing Equity in Special Education Through Student Voice Research
Student voice research in special and inclusive education is more than an academic pursuit; it is a call to action for reimagining education where students are active agents in shaping their schooling experiences. This commentary builds on the contributions of the papers in this special issue, which collectively highlight the importance of student voice in disrupting adultism, informing teacher practice, and challenging systemic inequities, parti…
Seeing pictures that other people can’t see”
Youth Crip Technoscience
In this paper, we engage with a new theoretical lens to the field of education for youth with disabilities, crip technoscience, and offer three applications of what we describe as youth crip technoscience. Youth crip technoscience asserts that youth with disabilities are makers and co-creators of disability; that disability is a creative, cultural experience for youth beyond accommodation and intervention; and that school and classrooms paces can…
“I knew I had it good, but I didn’t know just how good until this class”
Scholars in disability studies in education (DSE), multicultural education, and ethnic studies have called for explicit discussion of marginalized student identities which are impacted by interlocking oppressions. We discuss an undergraduate course focused on intersectionality, social constructions of race and disability, and first person narratives of people of color with disabilities. We were interested in the impacts on identity development as…
Whiteness and Ability
This Policy Discourse Analysis (PDA) explores 19 state legislative documents focused on the teaching of disability history in K-12 schools. Framed through critical perspectives on constructions of disability and race, alongside discourse theory, we iteratively analyzed these legislative documents to understand (a) how disability and disability history are constructed (particularly in relation to whiteness); and (b) the stated purpose of the legis…
Perspectives on quality of life among disability-related organization leaders serving individuals with paralysis
Adolescent understandings of disability labels and social stigma in school
Frequent discussion in the field of disability research focuses knowledge on rehabilitation for students with disabilities. However, lacking is a focus on student identity development in the face of a highly stigmatizing and stigmatized label. Semi-structured interviews with four freshman males labeled with high incidence disabilities were conducted. The aim of the study was a student-centered discussion of disability knowledge and awareness of s…
Disability
The data on violence against disabled people are scarce. The data on prevalence that does exist is staggering, however: disabled people make up one third to one half of all people killed by law enforcement and experience twice the rate of violence that others do. To study the relationships among ableism, violence, and disability as an intersectional identity, we use a DisCrit theoretical framework to conduct a selective review of three reports: a…
