A proper understanding of disability is central both to the human condition and to leading classical Christian education forward. Thus, an adequate anthropology is needed to support a vision of the indivisible relationship between disability and a classical education in which all students are seen as valuable contributors to the learning community. Offering a philosophical basis along with practical guidance, author Dr. Amy Richards unfolds the need to build new understandings of the nature of disability, the goal of education, and the ways in which classical educators can offer genuine welcome to students with disabilities and learning differences.
