“…Our findings showed that of the total characters represented in the illustrations from the ME textbooks across both periods of time, there were only 24 people with disabilities: nine before 2006 and 15 afterwards (Table 3). These results are consistent with those found in preschool textbooks (Martínez-Bello & Martínez-Bello, 2016; Martínez-Bello & Martínez-Bello, 2017), in primary physical education textbooks (Martínez-Bello & Molina-García, 2016), and in primary social sciences textbooks (Terrón & Cobano-Delgado, 2008). Although the 1990 Organic Law 1, LOGSE (Jefatura del Estado, 1990), established an inclusive basis for students with disabilities within the Spanish educational system, and this framework was reinforced thanks to the human rights-based approach laid out in Organic Law 2 (Jefatura del Estado, 2006), the representation of disability – and thus the messages transmitted about body diversity – still shows room for improvement within the Spanish musical curriculum.…”
