“The text is simultaneously heavily referenced and accessible. It therefore provides a sound knowledge of what constitutes and affects the experience of disabled childhoods in a manner that is useful to students and researchers alike. … the book provides an excellent balance of theoretical frameworks, historical background and present-day practices, whilst inviting the reader to consider whether they are creating spaces that marginalize and disregard rather than empower disabled children.” (Elvira Psaila, Disability & Society, May 13, 2019)
