In a seminar format, our course used a disability studies framework in order to gain a critical understanding of these practices that incorporates the lived experience of disability and education. This course was intended for students who are developing the knowledge and skills needed to be teachers, related service providers, principals, and other professionals working with diverse youth in a variety of placements. In the spirit of allowing students to demonstrate their newly constructed understanding and knowledge of the first stages of the special education process, students may choose a topic of their choice as a culminating project or may discuss additional ideas.What was created and learned pushed the boundaries of all expectations. Enjoy!
