Wednesday workshop: Dr. Crystal Kaiser

Early Disability Awareness for the Young Child:
Resources for Inclusion
Dr. Crystal Kaiser
Participants will have the opportunity to hear the results of a 3-year comprehensive literature review on disability awareness for the young child. In addition, a bibliography will be received by each participant of over 300 children's books currently in print for the very young (ages 2-7) addressing a wide range of disability awareness topics and themes. Over 50 of these books and related multimedia materials will be available during the workshop for participant review, as selected exemplary books and video are both presented and reviewed, both in terms of their unique contributions and their reflection of current best practice in the field of early childhood special education. Suggested considerations for evaluating and strategies for effectively using such books with the young child will be provided.
