We train our students to work in P-12 education in an era of inclusion and require them to support their students with disabilities in preparation for college and career. The federal government protects individuals with disabilities while they are students in school and while they are employees in the workplace. Are we doing our part to support our teacher candidates while they are in our programs? As professional certification gatekeepers, do we unnecessarily block students with disabilities from completing their internship? In this article the author discusses these questions and invites readers to support teacher candidates with disabilities as a way to embody justice in education.  \nKeywords: teacher preparation, disabilities, accommodations, ADA  \nAILACTE Journal 73  \nAntilla-Garza  \nA glance at many liberal arts college websites reveals that departments and schools of education serve as professional certification programs for future P-12 teachers. With this unique responsibility of providing a symbol of eligibility for employment, in addition to “developing intellectual and moral virtues”(Lederhouse, 2014, p. 3) resulting from any major in a liberal arts institution, teacher preparation programs position themselves as gatekeepers for the P-12 educational field. A closer look into the required courses for teacher certification reveals that teacher candidates take one or more courses about working with students with diverse abilities, language proficiencies, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds. A common conceptual framework in these courses is that the labels used in school settings are socially constructed, and situational. Given that stance, with its intention of preparing teachers to maintain student-first language and perspectives, we in teacher education do our part to move away from the dominant social discourse of the medical model with disabilities being an individual deficit (Ferri, Connor, Solis, Valle, & Volpitta, 2005; Hahn, 1998; Keller, 1998; Valle, Solis, Volpitta, & Connor, 2010) . While we teach our students the basics of various federally-funded title programs that shape the P-12 educational scene, we often do little to integrate these systems of support into our work with those who will be teaching in these settings. In this article, I will expand on this idea in three sections: first, by giving a brief explanation of support students are legally entitled to under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA); then, by describing the communal aspects promoted in contemporary teacher preparation programs; and finally, by issuing a vision of teacher education programs and the teaching field as settings for embodying justice through disability support and accommodations for teachers in learning communities. A list of suggested accommodations for educators with disabilities is included as an appendix.  \nThroughout the article, I use the word disabilities as that is the term most often used in legislation and in the resources I cite.
