| Summary: | While US federal law, Individual with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (1975-2004), IDEIA, guarantees education to all children with disabilities attending public schools, private schools can exclude children with disabilities. Historically, Christian families have found that Christ-centered schools do not offer admittance to children with disabilities. However, some Christian schools are beginning to serve children with mild disabilities or on a case by case basis. This autoethnographic account explores one family’s vulnerability in venturing outside the protection of IDEIA to attend a local Christian school. This article also challenges the perception that children with disabilities are better served by public schools. |
