Children's First Experiences

This book will help children to be more accepting towards children in wheelchairs. Children in wheelchairs know their capabilities and limits when participating in games and sports. It would be nice for able-bodied children to encourage children in wheelchairs to participate in the games or sports they are playing. They will enjoy being part of the group, and it will put smiles on their faces, as they will not feel that they are being pushed aside and cannot join in because of their wheelchairs. Please encourage your child to take the first step in asking someone in a wheelchair to join in a game or conversation. Every child likes to have fun and to be included.
