Designed to create positive attitudes and challenges and help change the children’s perceived negative feelings, this book demonstrates:

  • That there are different kinds of disabilities
  • What they can do to help
  • How to show empathy
  • How to interact.

The first section focuses on making sure all disabled pupils are given a voice. The second section provides eight units of work that examine areas such as:

  • Race
  • Speech and language
  • Stereotypes
  • Special educational needs.

The author follows a pattern of providing facing pages with differentiated activities for younger and older pupils. This allows a ‘pick and mix’ approach. The book includes teacher notes, Circle Time and extension activities and photocopiable resources (also on CD Rom).
