An integrated approach to STEM education is critical to promote the success of individuals with disabilities in the 21st century. This topical issue is a first step toward reaching that objective. The authors in this issue highlight a number of topics related to day-to-day instructional practice, promoting STEM education across systems, instructional design, technology use, and research. Each of these critical elements has overarching implications toward educational policy, systems change, and practice at all levels. Our goal is that this topical issue will serve as a catalyst for future discussions regarding the importance of preparing students with disabilities for a global community that demands the knowledge and skills associated with STEM education.
