“Lou Brown (1939 – 2021) was a Professor at the University of Wisconsin, in the United States of America, having achieved great recognition, nationally and internationally, as a pioneer in the fields of school and social inclusion of People with Disabilities and Disability. (. ..) His reputation came from his activity as a teacher, but especially from his intervention in the field, promoting the schooling and professional inclusion of people with disabilities, always assuming that this is an essential element for the construction of a more just society, and unavoidable condition to provide people with a dignified life.(…) The texts that we have gathered in this collection bring us the essence of Professor Lou Brown’s thinking in this field – however, in them we will not find very elaborate theoretical expositions, but the way how he applied a body of principles in his practice.” [excerpt from the Preface, signed by Mário Pereira]
