Disability Studies in Education

Disability Studies in Education is an interdisciplinary field that examines how disability impacts education and learning environments. It explores the social, cultural, and political aspects of disability, advocating for inclusive practices that support all students, regardless of their abilities. The field emphasizes the need for understanding disability not just as a medical condition, but as a social construct influenced by attitudes, policies, and access to resources. By studying these dynamics, educators and policymakers aim to create equitable educational practices that respect diversity and promote the full participation of every learner in the educational process.
