- Title
The Reading Journey of Zion—A Case Study of Race in the Context of Special Education.
- Authors
Robinson, Shawn Anthony; Neat, Kenneth J
- Abstract
The reading trajectory of African Americans males within the PreK-12 special education system has been at the forefront of scholarship. This case study was to understand how Zion's misidentification may have influenced his reading experiences. The inequalities Zion encountered in Special Education are examined through the Critical Race Theory and DisCrit lens. The article is illuminating the racialized impact of special education practices and policies, analyzed through Zion's experiences of receiving services for an emotional/behavioral disability identification rather than receiving specific reading services and accommodations.
