Understanding the full range of requirements relating to socioculturally sustaining practices is imperative to working with individuals with disabilities as well as with their families and caregivers. Being able to understand and explain this complex issue to others is important and often necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSocial injustices in special education are historical and systemic. Special education practitioners are typically unaware of the importance of intersectional differences because they have been prepared to address cultural perspectives only during awareness days or through specific units in curricula. At other times they discuss the topic diagnostically--for example, as part of an educational plan or when teaching English as a second language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther issues stem from the value system of the special education practitioners themselves; some are not willing to engage in these concepts, while others prioritize treating all students the same by using the terms \"fairness,\" \"equity,\" and \"colorblindness\" to justify this treatment. Even when special educator practitioners attempt to address injustices on behalf of their students, they tend to center on only the student's disability, which means they are ignoring or erasing other aspects of their students' identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese concerns highlight the importance of building the sociocultural competence of our teaching force. This book will help practitioners build this competence in their own spheres of influence.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth A.
