    Collaborating with a Latina Immigrant Parent in a Special Education Teacher Preparation Course: A Family as Faculty Snapshot
    (Information Age Publishing, 2023) Santamaría Graff, Cristina
    In this chapter, I use my interactions with Lety (pseudonym), a Latina immigrant parent of a child with Down syndrome who is a co-educator of this course and an advocate for Latine families of children with disabilities, to illustrate how collaboration and co-creation improves the quality and relevance of educator opportunities to learn and listen with families. I also illustrate how an FAF approach helps pre-service teachers listen to and act on concerns and knowledge provided by families. (*Please note that final publication uses "Latine" rather than "Latinx" throughout).
