Wehmeyer and Jennifer A. Kurth explore central, defining questions for the field of special and inclusive education: who, what, and where do we teach; what works in inclusive education; and where does inclusive education go now?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArguing that the concept of disability for the past fifty years has emphasised students as incapable and incompetent, the authors propose instead to build on a growing understanding that students with disabilities can be successful and meet high expectations, and that educators have the knowledge and skills to achieve this. From this strength-based perspective, the presumption is that disability is part of, and not apart from, typical human functioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing this lens, Wehmeyer and Kurth describe effective practices to guide instruction in inclusive settings—practices that begin with a consideration of each student's strengths and capacities, rather than with a diagnosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455595266284,"sku":"9781324015994","price":60.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/611uuxSJFoL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774786043","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/inclusive-education-in-a-strengths-based-era-by-jennifer-kurth-9781324015994","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
