Listening to the experts students with disabilities speak out

Synopsis

"In Listening to the Experts, students with a wide range of disabilities give readers a rare inside look at their pest and present school experiences." "Interspersed with the student essays are chapters by the other experts - parents, peers, and professionals. Parents talk about the experience of raising their son or daughter, peers share stories about their inclusive classrooms; and professionals such as educators, principals, and respected scholars discuss students' rights, the process of implementing inclusion, and the firsthand lessons they learned from their students." "A must-read for all educators, this book gives readers the inspiration and information they need to support inclusion, shape effective teaching practices, and ensure that academic challenges and social opportunities are open to all students."--BOOK JACKET.
