About this course
This course considers children with special needs from a critical disability studies perspective. We examine the topics of inclusion, disability, and quality of life within the Danish social welfare system through the lens of Nordic pedagogy. The voices of disabled persons and families are included in class to help understand how their lives are affected by public and educational policies.
