Labeled as Disabled
A new book gives a forum for the experiences of Black students and families.
Black children with disabilities experience greater obstacles in education and poorer academic outcomes than their nondisabled and/or white peers, said Endia Lindo, associate professor of special education in TCU’s College of Education. Black students have also been disproportionately recommended for special education since the U.S. Office of Civil Rights began tracking those numbers in 1968.
