NEW MONTHLY COLUMN! Children’s Books that will help teach about those with Special Needs

June 1, 2016 By Carissa Garabedian

June's Books For Kids

June’s Books For Kids

There are so many wonderful books, for kids of all ages, that can truly open eyes and hearts to help give some insight to those of us with a child at home that has Special Needs.

Some I will have read, others I will have just peeked at on line. I think books are such a great way to connect and teach to allow conversation. You and your child(ren) will learn of the challenges, you will gain insight and it will aid in the ultimate goal we strive for- all of our kids connecting and realizing there is a common bond to find and hold.

For June we are sharing these 4. We will have this post monthly. Please feel free to send over any suggestions.

1. All Dogs Have ADHD
by Kathy Hoopmann
at Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), using images and ideas from the canine world to explore a variety of traits that will be instantly recognizable to those who are familiar with ADHD. This delightful book combines humor with understanding to reflect the difficulties and joys of raising a child with ADHD and celebrates what it means to be considered ‘different.’

2. Just Because
by Rebecca Elliott
The main character Toby talks about his relationship and adventures with his sister and best friend, Clemmie, who happens to be in a wheelchair.

3. Keeping Up With Roo
by Sharlee Glenn
This story is about Gracie and her Aunt, who has a cognitive disability. They have been best friends for a long time and now that Gracie is growing up, things are changing. Gracie brings a friend home and feels embarrassed about Roo’s differences.

4. Melvin Goes to the Dentist
By Sara Cremeno and Colleen Genest
Sara Cremeno is a pediatric registered dental hygienist, and Colleen Genest is a mother of an autistic son. They team together to tell a story on how to relate to children and to parents of children with special needs. This one is all about the dentist!
