Abstract

Feeling different, especially as a kid, can be tough. But in the same way that different types of plants and flowers make a garden more beautiful and enjoyable, different types of people make our world more vibrant and wonderful.

In Just Ask, United States Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor celebrates the different abilities kids (and people of all ages) have. Using her own experience as a child who was diagnosed with diabetes, Justice Sotomayor writes about children with all sorts of challenges--and looks at the special powers those kids have as well. As the kids work together to build a community garden, asking questions of each other along the way, this book encourages readers to do the same: When we come across someone who is different from us but we're not sure why, all we have to do is Just Ask.

Abstract

Deaf and hard of hearing students are often placed in mainstream educational settings. Many of these students appear to succeed in this environment. Deaf author Mark Drolsbaugh examines what is happening behind the scenes. He reveals the consequences of life in the mainstream for deaf and hard of hearing students.

While Mr. Drolsbaugh bases the book on the American Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, his findings are also useful to Canadian parents.
