Now in its third edition, this powerful ethnographic study examines the placement of Black and Hispanic students in the subjectively determined, high-incidence disability categories of special education. The authors present compelling narratives representing the range of experiences faced by culturally and linguistically diverse students who fall under the liminal shadow of perceived disability. This edition updates the literature on disproportionality, highlighting the deeply embedded and systemic nature of this decades-old pattern in which reforms represent mere shifts across disability categories, while disproportionality remains. Applying lenses of cultural-historical and critical disability theories, this edition expands on the authors' previous theoretical insights with updated recommendations for improving educational practice, teacher training, and policy renewal.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eA unique examination of the school-based contributors to disproportionality based on research conducted in a large, culturally diverse school district.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eHolistic views of the referral and placement process detailing students' trajectories across 4 years from initial instruction to referral, evaluation, and placement in special education.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAn update on the patterns and literature related to disproportionality.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the cultural-historical nature of disproportionality and the socially constructed nature of the high-incidence disability categories.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eRecommendations for changing the conceptualization of children's learning difficulties, moving away from the presumption of children's intrinsic deficits toward evaluations based on human variation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword to the Third Edition \u003cem\u003eAlfredo J.
