How to Respond to Disability Curiosity from Kids

All books in the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Parent Guidebooks series are written for parents (and caregivers) of elementary school kids. This 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 parenting guidance and practical ideas for: 

• 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
• Discussing neurodivergent traits and how to react

Please note: Instead of general advice like 'be a good role model' or 'talk about feelings,' our guidebooks provide specific age-appropriate examples and step-by-step instructions for integrating diversity and inclusion values into daily life at home.
