Abstract
Society embraces diversity and inclusion in education, recognizing the importance of acknowledging student differences for a nurturing learning environment. This extends to empowering teachers with disabilities in American classrooms, promoting inclusion alongside peers. This chapter examines their crucial role, unique contributions, and the need for enhanced recruitment and support systems. The family and culture-based (FCB) framework guides discussions on effectively accommodating and supporting these educators.
