Its central thesis is that cultural values and expectations play a dominant role in understanding the structure and function of special education. While theories of the social construction of disability have been written about in a growing body of research since the 1960s, no attempt has been made to create a cross-cultural framework. This work offers such a framework. Eight chapters, written by educators in each country's educational system cover the following nations: China, Great Britain, Hungary, Japan, Iran, Pakistan, United States, and Zimbabwe. Historical discussions in each chapter provide a context for current practice. An index and illustrations are also included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45237507260567,"sku":"9781138968370","price":4653.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138968370.webp?v=1769216773","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/education-and-disability-in-cross-cultural-perspective-9781138968370","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
