Not Just for Educators

This book is a powerful story that stimulates self-reflection. It caused me to examine my interactions with eveybody I meet on a daily basis and reminded me that everybody has a message and a lesson to deliver.Ability Profiling exists throughout our culture. It is not isolated to schools and, therefore, this resource is a valuable tool for anybody who cares about there interactions with their community.
