Paperback. Condition: New. Muslim families raising children with autism navigate complex intersections of faith, culture, and disability services that remain largely unexamined in special education literature. In a first for that academic literature, Faith, Family, and Neurodiversity: Islamic Approaches to Understanding Autism addresses this critical gap by centering the voices and expertise of Muslim families who have developed sophisticated strategies for supporting their children while maintaining religious identity and cultural values within American educational systems. Drawing on extensive community engagement and research, Dr. Sadia Warsi and Ms. Sophia Memon document how Islamic principles provide conceptual frameworks for understanding autism that align with contemporary special education values while offering additional resources for family resilience. Through composite narratives that protect participant confidentiality, this volume examines how families successfully integrate Islamic wisdom with evidence-based interventions to create comprehensive support programs. The analysis reveals systematic gaps in how educational institutions serve culturally diverse families, while each chapter integrates young adult literature featuring characters with exceptionalities, including autism, as pedagogical tools for building cultural competence. This volume challenges prevailing assumptions about cultural values and evidence-based practice, offering a strengths-based perspective on cultural diversity in special education. Faith, Family, and Neurodiversity provides essential content for special educators, school psychologists, administrators, teacher preparation faculty, and educational researchers committed to creating truly inclusive educational systems. The goal of the book is to become a foundational document in the study of this unique but important phenomenon. It can be adopted in a variety of neurodiversity or cultural studies classes, and it is essential reading for special education teachers, especially those dealing with issues of health in diverse cultures. Perfect for courses such as: Introduction to Special Education; Culturally Responsive Teaching in Special Education; Family Engagement in Special Education; Foundations of Inclusive Education; Autism Spectrum Disorders: Theory and Practice; Multicultural Education; Diversity in Early Childhood Special Education; Critical Perspectives in Disability Studies; Educational Equity and Social Justice; Collaboration with Families and Communities.…
