Ability Profiling and School Failure by Kathleen M Collins

This new edition situates the book and its case study within current conversations about the contextualized nature of disability, exploring the role of situated literacies, classroom interactions, and social stereotypes in shaping students' identification as disabled.

Her program of research aims to identify and interrupt deficit discourses surrounding children who are positioned as struggling with traditional school literacies.
