Family and School Partnership to Build Homeplace and Protect Black Autistic Joy
LaChan V. Hannon; Michael D. Hannon
Theory Into Practice, v63 n1 p99-113 2024
Researchers acknowledge how the experiences of Black autistic students and their families are virtually absent from educational research and research about autistic people. This chapter offers insights and perspectives from the parents of a Black autistic child, using hooks' construct of homeplace to understand the need for safety in school spaces. Drawing on tenets of self-study and co-autoethnographic methodologies, the authors provide reflections and recommendations on the ways school personnel can help create homeplace to nurture and protect Black autistic joy through their singular and shared narratives.
