Teaching Kids It's Ok to Be Different

Different Kinds of Special, a new children’s book by Donna Carol Koffman, teaches children that it’s our differences that make us special. Inspired by her autistic grandson, Koffman’s book helps children and adults alike understand the challenges faced by non-verbal children and inspires readers to imagine a world of inclusion and acceptance.
