Abstract	Special education has been critiqued for not adequately acknowledging and therefore addressing the overrepresentation of students of colour assigned disability labels. To counter the paucity of information about the largest group of disabled students in urban settings, eight young adults labelled learning disabled (LD) co-created "portraits in progress". These social, cultural, and historical based narratives act as counter stories to traditional special education research located within a medical-model paradigm that casts students as deficit-based. Excerpts from these highly personal narratives reveal nuanced understandings of power dynamics pertaining to disability, race, and social class as each one shapes the experience of the others. Participants perceive their lives as a series of interlocking containments; for some, special education is one example. (Contains 5 notes and 2 tables.) (As Provided).
