Brief Description:
If the question is “How do you raise anti-ableist kids?” the answer is
“Become anti-ableist and then model it through intention and action for
your children.” Raising kind and compassionate children is a goal for a lot
of parents.While many people have a desire to be inclusive of their
disabled and neurodivergent neighbors, and strongly desire to pass these
values along to their children, they do not have a breadth of education or
experience on how to appropriately do this. Beyond Inclusion breaks down
fifteen common forms of ableism, with explanations, examples, and first-
person accounts. Then, author Carrie Cherney Hahn offers activities and
perspectives that help parents understand the ableism that exists within
them and supports their ability to process and dismantle it so that they
can model anti-ableist practices for their kids. Each chapter offers
children’s resources that parents can use to nurture informed and anti-
ableist ideals in their kids. Inclusion is actually the bare minimum. Our
work is to show our children how to become more understanding, more
accepting, and hopefully also more appreciative of disabled and
neurodivergent people.
