This guidebook offers practical guidance for parents and caregivers on how to address children's natural curiosity (ages 6-12) about disabilities in a compassionate, informative, and age-appropriate way. With clear explanations, real-life examples, and engaging activities, this resource helps adults create a safe and inclusive environment where children can learn about disability with empathy and understanding. You'll find step-by-step guidance and practical ideas for: - Learning what your child already knows about people with disabilities.- Teaching etiquette for special needs adaptive tools (service dogs, wheelchairs, etc).- Discussing mental difference behaviors (stimming, hyperactivity, etc) and how to react.- Making household adjustments to create an inclusive attitude at home.- Answering common questions from kids about people with disabilities.Please note: Our guidebooks strictly adhere to American Psychological Association child development doctrines. Each book includes a comprehensive reference list and in-text citations, reinforcing our commitment to evidence-based parenting advice. I spent my career as a professional writer and researcher, simultaneously raising two (now-grown) inclusive children.My writing focus now is 100% fueled by my passion to empower parents with the resources they need to raise inclusive children.The timing couldn't be better. As the world (slowly) awakens to the dire need to reduce cultural unfairness, helping parents raise a generation of equality-minded humans is absolutely critical.
