This book provides guidance for teachers to engage students in learning about disability as an area of declarative knowledge needed for social justice pedagogy. In this way, they offer disability concepts and learning materials that are not simply a superficial retrofit to existing curricula but that work to center learning about disability... The flexibility of topics and materials make Undoing Ableism a valuable resource that empowers instructors to incorporate disability in a way that values and respects disabled perspectives. Katelin Anderson, Book Review in Disability Studies Quarterly (Vol. 41, No. 1) Overall, the book skillfully draws together rich theoretical frameworks alongside concrete suggestions for practical application in the classroom. Erin Whitney, Book Review in Disability Studies Quarterly (Vol. 41, No. 1) Baglieri and Lalvani include pragmatic advice in each chapter, ranging from critical enquiry into prejudice against disabled people on tv-shows... to suggestions for teachers on how to encourage their pupils to investigate accessibility in their own school environment. Additional reading recommendations abound in each chapter and the links provided to disability organisations and other resources are extremely helpful. Undoing Ableism could not be a more appropriate title for this learned book. For this reason, I consider it particularly suitable as an outstanding resource in the genre of continuous professional development, not only for teachers and head teachers but other professionals whose job it is to ensure that disabled pupils' needs are met and their rights to schooling are honoured.
