Rama Cousik

This book uses case studies and storytelling in an exponential way to help readers practically understand inclusive education. Circumventing theory-based work, it presents and brings into the light everyday classroom practice, family life, and cultural understanding of disability so that the reader may see themselves in it. Arranging research, lived experience, the author demonstrates how children with disabilities are shaped not just by their disorders but also by society’s perceptions of them, school practices, and the supports available to them. The exploration of medical, social, and moral models of disability helps readers see past the label and recognize strength in every child. The book is thought-provoking, incisive and inspirational for teachers, parents and anybody concerned with an inclusive educational system. This book must be part of the reference library for the various curricula related to courses in India.
