Introduction



Sociocultural Perspectives on dis/Ability and Positioning



The boy who had something to say



He's what I would call out there



He was immediate. He was like immediate

It will be very, very difficult for him to learn how to function in the class



It's like a burst, a burst of fire



You got to hear this!



So who wrote it?



Jay, we gotta find you a group

Church is not a game!



I think that's why we became very good friends



"If you stick out, you get squashed:" Ability profiling as response to difference
