Autoethnographic Experiences Of A Disabled Teacher In The Public School Setting

This autoethnography considers accommodations and modifications through four different genres: journal entries, biography, fiction, and autobiography. It discusses autoethnography, disability and health studies, and the healing power of storytelling. It finds that those with disabilities thrive with positive self-talk and personality traits, compassionate mentors, and a supportive community. In addition, although some accommodations are universal, many are dependent on individual needs.
