These books about children with speech and language disabilities will allow my students to know they aren't alone. Speech-Language Impaired students need to see others like themselves in print so they can feel represented! Many of my students struggle daily with stuttering and severe articulation disorders, like Apraxia, making it a struggle just to talk to a friend or teacher. Others are limited verbal or totally nonverbal. These children need to know there are others with the same problems and children without these concerns need to develop empathy for their disabled peers. Literacy opens many doors, one of them being to the road toward discussing struggles and differences. Typically developing and disabled children need to be aware of communication differences to promote tolerance and acceptance. These books will share speech-language struggles when I teach disability awareness in general education classes and when I teach self- awareness to the children who have disabilities themselves.
