About the Book
The book approaches the topic of disability, inclusion and inclusive
education in a holistic way including both academic and psycho-social
perspectives. It also focuses on the contemporary status of disability
studies with a multidisciplinary dimension. The experiences and
challenges of children with disabilities and the different dimensions of
inclusive education have been situated appropriately by including at
the outset, a chapter on 'Disability Studies: The Context'. Chapter on
'Sociology of Disability' accentuates the tone and perspective of the
presentations of the authors and editor. The research findings
presented in the book indicate grounded realities and suggestions for
transactional strategies which are plausible in the Indian context. It
has never been timely to publish a book that helps professionals who
work with schools, special education teachers, and counsellors to
analyze disabilities from a socio-psychological perspective keeping the
protagonist at the centre. Case narrations situated in the Indian
context enrich the presentations giving voice to the marginalized
children/adults with disabilities. This work serves as a comprehensive
reference for the most prevalent disabilities at school education level
covering the conceptual understanding about each disability, their
psycho-social perspectives, implications for classroom transactions,
suggestions of transactional strategies along with a brief explanation
of assistive technology that can be used in case of each disability.With
Right to Education Act (2009) in place, a diverse range of readers,
from special educators and other teachers in schools, prospective
teachers pursuing their pre service teacher education programmes,
teacher educators and researchers in the field of disabilities and
inclusive education will all find this volume useful, as a reference
material with long shelf life.
