Exploring Disability Identity and Student Agency

Fri, April 10, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: Ground Floor, Gold 2

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This session highlights how disability, identity, and agency are constructed and navigated in school contexts, centering the experiences of students who are often marginalized. Presentations examine the intersections of race, gender, and disability, exploring how students with learning and intellectual disabilities shape their mathematics, writing, and broader educational identities. By foregrounding student voices and lived futures, the session offers insights for creating inclusive educational practices that prioritize strengths, self-determination, and meaningful participation.
