Maintaining academic integrity when teaching students with disabilities ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],“ We've got the ability to do things, and we are able minded... People assume that wheels mean nothing up here in the brain... Whether they be disabled and walking, or disabled and in a wheelchair, they're still capable of putting something into society...
