If you are a parent like I am, you know that books are a great way to teach kids about…well just about anything, from life lessons to potty training. What you may not know is that there are a lot of great books available that can educate kids about others like them who have a disability.
I recently came across this blog post on Disaboom titled “Best Books for Special-Needs Kids” and thought it might be useful information to share with all of you. These books are great for teaching kids with disabilities that they are not alone. Kids enjoy hearing stories about other people who are like them and face the same challenges as they do. There are books for children from preschool to middle school that teach how acceptance and friendship are important for children of all abilities. Disaboom lists over 20 of the best books that they found, take a look!
Do you have a favorite book to add to this list? Has reading books like this impacted your child?

We love the Little Critter books at our house because they teach lessons in their stories in such a cute way… it is great to see the authors addressing bigger issues then bath time and new siblings.
