"In The ABCs of Disabilities, Sean Gold brings a light-hearted but rich, kid and adult friendly look into the experience of growing up Disabled, and what nondisabled allyship can look like even from a young age. Covering topics like eating (E), using the bathroom (B), needing or offering help (H), and how to ask or respond to tricky questions (Q), Gold shares a universal view for both Disabled and nondisabled kids and grownups, maintaining a strong focus on joy (J) throughout, and encouraging every child to think of themselves in both leadership (L) roles, and as integral members of the community (C)! Parents, pick this one up!" -Yuri Velez, disabled parent, school administrator, & season one voice transcriber on Crippled by Culture
