SUMMARY:Author visit in honor of Jewish disability & inclusion month
DESCRIPTION:K–3rd grade learners will participate in a special author visit and read-aloud of I Get Around in My Own Special Way\, a story that gently introduces themes of disability\, difference\, and inclusion through a child-centered lens. The program\, put together by Beth Emet’s Inclusion Committee\, invites learners to notice\, ask questions\, and celebrate the many ways people move through the world. \nParents\, grandparents\, and caregivers are encouraged to stay after the read-aloud for casual conversation about how to talk with children about disabilities. This time will offer space to normalize differences\, model respectful interactions\, and support empathy\, kindness\, and inclusion—both at school and at home. \nDonna Goldman is a retired early childhood educator with 28 years of experience working with children. Now happily retired\, she enjoys time with her family\, including her five grandchildren\, and continues to share her perspective from navigating the world in her power chair. Her work reflects a deep commitment to helping children and adults build understanding\, compassion\, and connection. She gets around in her power chair and in her van with license plate GTBKUP2\, which is what her parents taught her to do when life gets challenging!
