When Rebecca started school I looked for a book for her classmates, something that
would introduce 'ability/disability' to them. I found nothing that covered Rebecca's level
of disability.
After several weeks I decided to write one myself.
It is written with five-year-olds in mind, and strives to introduce some basic
concepts:
 | Rebecca is more like her classmates then different from them |
 | Rebecca has friends, and it is OK to be friends with her |
 | Rebecca had wide interests, likes and dislikes |
 | Rebecca had a family and an extended family |
 | Rebecca is learning the same school subjects |
 | Rebecca has several methods of communication, and there will be others in the future |
 | There are some differences, for example her food, cloth to keep her clothes clean,
flotation jacket for swimming |
I hope you enjoy 'Rebecca's Gift'.
