With exemplary biographies of Angela Covadonga Bachiller, Andrea Bocelli, Jim Abbott, Franklin Roosevelt, Thomas Edison, Temple Grandin, Annie Jump Cannon, Frida Kahlo and Ray Charles, and an insightful introduction written by authors who overcame their own disabilities and handicaps, this book provides meaningful, practical guidance and resources for parents of children with disabilities, their teachers - and the children themselves - to understand how to transform a disability into “this-ability.”

Ultimately a challenge against ableism, the authors astutely observe everyone will benefit by the methodologies and examples of these remarkable men and women. No one feels sorry for these heroes: why should anyone, especially parents or teachers, feel sorry for their own children and students?
