Subject: ELEM: disability awareness materials needed
In a staff meeting I learned that our kids in 3d and 4th grades were making
comments about a blind preschooler, equating blindness with mental
incompetance.  I have access to some of the phys ed budget which can buy
some materials (books, videos, whatever) to address this.  I discovered that
my favorite resources are out of print.  What do you know about, both for
the children and as techer resources?
Thanks!!

I posted this earlier today but I do't think it got through. Apologies if it
did and this is a duplicate posting.

Suddenly I discover that there is some money in the phys ed budget that I
could use to get materials for students and for teachers on disability
awareness.  It quickly became clear that my favorite resources, now about 20
years old, are all out of print.  (No surprise)  So, what do you know of
that is a good book, video, curriculum, etc for K-4?
Thanks!
