"Writing Centers and Disability" aims to investigate the vital intersection of Writing Center Studies and Disability Studies and to generate critical discussion about topics such as the challenge of structural accommodations; creating inclusive environments and practices; adopting flexible approaches to teaching and learning; and following collaborative approaches to working with others. The book includes not only reports of research studies about disability in the writing center and of successful and innovative programs, but also narratives of experience from a wide range of voices including staff and students with and without disabilities who work in writing centers.

Each chapter includes a set of practical applications for the consideration of writing center practitioners, and concludes with a few critical questions to generate further reflection and discussion about writing centers and disability. This book is a valuable resource for writing center practitioners and the practical suggestions will help incorporate disability in our tutor training programs and to develop more flexible approaches to working with disability in the writing center.
