All books in the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Parent Guidebooks series are written for parents (and caregivers) of elementary school kids. This particular guidebook focuses on disability awareness (both physical and mental) by providing instructions for teaching kids how to interact with people who have special needs. You'll find step-by-step guidance and practical ideas for:Â
- Answering common questions from kids about disability
- Teaching etiquette for special needs adaptive tools (service dogs, for example)
- Learning how to teach morals to kids
- Explaining both mental and physical disability basics
- Demystifying disability
- Learning how to talk so kids will listen
Please note: New children's books and (most) school curriculums about diversity and inclusion are appearing daily, which is fantastic news! But there's a gap that needs filling. To help kids really absorb the values they're learning, parents need practical ideas and instructions for incorporating those values into daily life at home.
