The authors provide a cultural-historical view of the conflation of racism, classism, and ableism that has left a deeply entrenched stigma--one that positions children with disabilities and children of color as less valuable than others. To redress these inequities, the authors offer a working model of co-constructed advocacy designed to benefit all families. Because advocacy is not a \"one size fits all\" endeavor, the authors propose meeting families where they are and learning their strengths and needs, while preparing and repositioning families to empower themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eTakes a cultural-historical view that explores the reasons why individuals with disabilities are so stigmatized. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShows how the intersection of different stigmatized identity markers, such as poverty, race, and language, have been woven into negative interpretations of \"difference.\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCelebrates the history of parent advocacy in the United States since World War II. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Examines how social and racial privilege have dictated which parent voices are heard. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProposes collaborative approaches that can produce more authentic and more representative advocacy.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores the motivations and purposes that drive parent advocacy.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beth Harry, Lydia Ocasio-Stoutenburg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807763845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807763841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Teachers College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2021","brand":"Beth Harry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994507182335,"sku":"9780807763841","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f7b57b6-042c-4d3f-84a6-aafc1e841d21.jpg?v=1683330561","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/meeting-families-where-they-are-beth-harry-9780807763841","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
