I Can Do This

By Laura Mae Murphy

Book Overview

This book, These Stories, were intended to be used by anyone who has the ability to help these individuals fit in wherever they go. If teachers could use these stories to introduce the problem and possibly the solution to the students prior to the introduction of the student with special needs or problems, there wouldn't be so much apathy in the world.

In using animals instead of names there is no chance of anyone misunderstanding and transferring any of these topics onto anyone specific.

I've tried to cover as many issues as I could: communication, deafness, blindness, birth defects, epilepsy, amputees, etc. But the most important goal is acceptance. There could be role playing (i.e., someone could be the cow or the beaver or the iguana). Interaction could play an important role in getting the message across.

We don't need to see, hear, talk or look pretty. All we need is a heart to be human. So, open your hearts and explore the possibilities of friendship and love and remember...

If you treat people as if they are what they ought to be, you help them become what they are capable of being.
