Abstract
The title of this book suggests listening to many voices, but which voices? They are calls from the past and the present. They are the voices of students with disabilities and their parents. Teachers and other professionals, commentators, government representatives, and many others have their say. The voices of philosophers, linguists, anthropologists, psychologists, sociologists, and more can be heard in the following pages.
