Humanizing Disability in Mathematics Education: Forging New Paths is a must-read for both teachers of general and special education as well as the administrators who lead them. With an emphasis on shifting from a medical model of disability to that of a revolutionary model, readers are left feeling empowered to focus on the assets their students with disabilities possess and how to maximize those assets in the classroom rather than focusing on how to fix the child’s deficits. The authors champion viewing all students as critical elements of a math classroom and encourage incorporating general and special education students into one learning space—because every student has funds of knowledge that are valuable to the collective wisdom of the class. If you are interested in disrupting the current system of education for students with disabilities so that they can have access to powerful mathematical learning, this is the book for you!". - Jamie Garner, Project Coordinator–Math, Stanislaus County Office of Education, Modesto, California
