""In this important new book, Voulgarides demonstrates how special education programs aimed at supporting children with learning disabilities have focused on compliance with our laws, while in too many cases, they leave students languishing in our schools. She shows that by shifting the focus to one that ensures there is evidence that the needs of students are met, special education can be used to drive educational opportunity for some of our nation's most vulnerable students.""--Pedro Noguera, Emery Stoops and Joyce King Stoops Dean, Rossier School of Education, University of Southern California ""Today, uncovering 'us' is fraught. The US, state by state and collectively, struggles to remember whose voices belong. Schools shape what belonging means. Voulgarides reminds us that we achieve an inclusive society by pushing to create emancipatory learning spaces that allow our children to thrive in today's and tomorrow's worlds.""--Elizabeth B. Kozleski, retired professor of education, Stanford University
