Christopher Kliewer, Douglas P. Biklen · Teachers College Record The Voice of Scholarship in Education · 2007
In this article on the literate development of individuals with significant disabilities, the authors describe local understanding as a relationship in which the value, intelligence, and literate presence of the person with disabilities is presumed and responsive contexts are developed that foster literate growth. Implications for policy and students without disabilities are highlighted.
