Including Disability in Early Childhood Curricula: Evaluating and Using Children’s Books
All children need to see themselves reflected in their learning environment. Providing access to and reading books that positively depict disability is a meaningful way to provide representation and facilitate conversations that support understanding and acceptance of difference. Learn strategies for choosing books that accurately and positively depict disability. Explore how to read books and have positive conversations about disability. Read Lori Erbrederis Meyer’s article from the Winter 2021 issue of Young Children here.
BONUS: Two additional resources on selecting and using books to support children’s multiple and intersecting identities are the August 2021 issue of Natural Resources and Storybook Conversations: STEM & Disabilities, a section of the STEMIE website that includes a book list and guidance on adapting storybooks.
