Humanizing Disability in Mathematics Education: Forging New Paths 
By Paulo Tan, Alexis Padilla, Erica N. Mason, and James Sheldon 
Stock #: 15722 List price: $32.95 

This book enhances the practices of mathematics teachers by extending the concepts of access, equity, and empowerment to include students living with all types of disabilities. These students are rarely thought of as mathematics doers and thinkers, and so are seldom offered opportunities to engage in mathematics in meaningful and connected ways. Humanizing Disability examines the current mindset and pedagogy that students with different learning needs encounter and then offers strategies and practices to humanize the mathematics experience for these students.
