Teaching Children Disability Awareness

Last year I wrote a children's story with a young disabled child as the central character. I was excited about the prospect of it being published, but as the tradition goes, it was rejected by a children book publisher. In any case I'll continue to work on this story.

More interesting, perhaps, is a disability awareness project highlighted by The Christian Science Monitor in the article Helping Kids Break Stereotypes. The project gives young children the opportunity to learn about the lives of disabled children and adults.
