ABSTRACT
This volume offers international perspectives on the disproportionate impact COVID-19 has had on disabled students and their families, serving as a call to action for educational systems and education policy to become proactive, rather than reactive, for future disasters. Each chapter in the book is written by authors with lived experiences across diverse global regions, highlighting the daily life of people with disabilities and their families during the pandemic. Including case studies and practical suggestions, the book demonstrates that culturally responsive practices are essential to successfully support people around the world in their times of need. At the critical intersection of education and disability human rights, this book is important for pre-service teachers, researchers, professors, and graduate students to ensure all students are supported during times of crisis.
