Taking Cerebral Palsy to School

Even though Chad has cerebral palsy, he can still attend school and do many of the same things as his classmates. Written from Chad's perspective, this book answers many of the questions his classmates have but may be too scared or uncomfortable to ask. Children, teachers, school nurses, parents, and caregivers will learn about what cerebral palsy is, the different kinds of cerebral palsy, and special equipment that is available to help kids with cerebral palsy.

Includes an experiment that allows children without cerebral palsy to experience what the condition may feel like. Other children can start to identify why a peer with cerebral palsy may be treated differently and begin to empathize with the peer. Includes a Kid Quiz to reinforce new information and Ten Tips for Teachers to provide additional facts and ideas for teacher use. Softcover, 32 pages.
