Did you know March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness month? Just in time, I’ve put together a list of a few of my favorite books about disabilities.
There are a lot of great children’s books out there that feature developmental disabilities. Representation of differing abilities matters! It goes a long way to have students feel represented, as well as to teach and give children an understanding of those that are different than them!
