If your child has special needs of any kind, reading them a book about another child with similar issues can make them feel less alone.
When I got my kids a copy of "Special Like Me" which is a book about a boy with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome just like they have, they were pretty excited. I even took it to the school and read it to each of my two oldest kids' classes.
For children with special needs of any kind, reading them a book about another child with similar issues can make them feel less alone.
For children with special needs of any kind, reading them a book about another child with similar issues can make them feel less alone.
Books that focus on special needs of any kind are not just a great idea for the kids who have them, but for their peers, family, and anyone else who could benefit from learning more about the condition (hint: that would be everyone).
With that in mind, I spent several days researching and compiling this list of children's books about various special needs and disabilities. I hope you find a book that works for your family!
