Is Everyone Included? Using Children's Literature To Facilitate the Understanding of Disabilities.

Blaska, Joan K.; Lynch, Evelyn C.

Young Children, v53 n2 p36-38 Mar 1998

Guided reading can change attitudes toward disabilities and exceptionalities. This article describes 10 children's books in which people with disabilities are portrayed in a respectful yet realistic manner: the first two inform about a disability; the remaining eight are examples of inclusionary literature in which a person with a disability is included as a classmate, neighbor, or friend.
