(Un)Learning Disability - Recognizing and Changing Restrictive Views of Student Ability

How do high school students confront and resolve conflicting messages about their intelligence and academic potential, particularly when labelled with social and learning disabilities? Following the lives of adolescents at home as well as in and out of school, this title makes visible the disabling language, contextual arrangements, and unconscious social practices that restrict learning regardless of special education services.
