Dd is starting to notice everything lately and although has been around children with disabilites all of her life I find she is beginning to become more curious.
How do I explain to dd about disabilities and sn in a way she will understand. As to be honest I know that dd being as literal and direct and she is will probably say infront of the child/parent (especially where the disability is visible) why do you look like that, have a wheelchair etc. Dd is of course being very innocent as that is part of her disability being this way.
I just feel that I would find it hard to explain as she too has special needs and I don't think really realises it yet.
Just wondered if there may be a book or something I could buy. It's just we are round a lot of people with disabilites quite a lot of the time.
