This reader-directed exploration of ableism is both informative and empowering.
Self-assessment quizzes, real life scenarios, myths, and Q&As all contribute to understanding ableism and ableist behavior, and readers will learn to identify, address, and provide helpful, effective solutions. Strategies for change for both readers and their peers are included.
Author Kimberley Maich uses her experience as a special education specialist, certified teacher, registered psychologist, and board-certified behavior analyst to present a realistic and accurate look at ableism.
The text is accompanied on every page by graphic novel-style illustrations that depict characters often not included in illustrated books. Illustrator Kay Nau draws on their experience as a disabled and neurodivergent artist to bring authenticity and life to the characters and scenarios discussed within the book.
