Shut up, or Set Free: Poetic Inquiry into Disabled Students’ Experiences of Differential Attainment

The poems reveal the often-unseen struggles of disabled learners, challenging ableist perceptions and highlighting the necessity of inclusive practices. Our findings underscore the need for a shift in educational approaches, advocating for universal design and comprehensive support systems that consider the unique experiences of disabled learners. This study lays the groundwork for future research to develop interventions that address DA in a more inclusive and equitable manner, ensuring educational environments support all learners effectively.
