IDEAS FOR PRESENTATION TO PRESCHOOL AGED CHILDRENWe are caught in a world that is trying to teach our children to simply "accept", or, even worse, "tolerate" those with differences. To really see inclusion work within our schools, communities, churches and society in general, we must make a shift from "tolerance" and "acceptance" to understanding that each individual will bring something unique to the greater whole. When others come to understand the interconnectedness of all people and how every human being is needed in that larger "whole".
This is meant to be a resource for all those who are doing presentations on trisomy 21 or disabilities in general. It is a compilation of ideas from various community members for presentations to various age groups. To see ideas for a given age group, simply click on the group listed below.

Reading Books
Submitted by Monica (mom2mikey)There are many children's books on the market that portray people with Trisomy 21, or more generally, people with disabilities, in day-to-day settings where they interact with and/or contribute to their families, classrooms, and/or communities. As children are exposed to this as "normal", hopefully a shift will be made away from striving towards the things that society has always deemed as "most important" and recognizing that there are many things that make you, and others, important.
