""Carrie Cherney Hahn's Beyond Inclusion is empowering and enlightening. Her ability to dissect complex issues of ableism with clarity and compassion captivated me. Through practical strategies, relatable examples, and children's literature recommendations, Hahn empowers readers to dismantle internalized ableism and foster anti-ableist ideals in themselves and their children--a must-read for anyone committed to creating a more inclusive and empathetic society."" --Dr. Traci Baxley, author of Social Justice Parenting ""Beyond Inclusion is the book I wish I had when I was growing up. It would have shown me that my disability wasn't something to be feared or a deficit. In a world where disabled people still face so much stigma, discrimination, and inequality, this is a much-needed resource for families and schools. What a future we will have if every young person were taught how to be anti-ableist. This book is the way forward for an inclusive world! A must read for every family raising young people."" --Eliza Hull, co-author of Come Over to My House' and editor of We've Got This: Essays by Disabled Parents
