A quote from Stephanie Kerschbaum, 2019 Recipient of the NCTE Leadership Award for People with Disabilities: Many awards focused on disability emphasize success as a kind of overcoming, framing disability as an individual problem that people can address or solve through extraordinary effort. [The Leadership Award for People with Disabilities], in contrast, turns to the question of how people are doing the hard work of institutional transformation, of enacting change and creating new practices.
