“…It is also in agreement with the finding of Kamalie (2002) which proved that bibliotherapy did contribute to quantifiable changes in personality development and interpersonal relations of the pupils. The study further confirms the views of Winser (1998), Ayala (1999) and Rohner and Rosberg (2003). Winser (1998) stated that books which can help explain disability in uncomplicated jargon-free language eases fears which are ruled by ignorance and replaces negative stereotypes with accurate information.…”

Children's literature often portrays characters with disabilities. These books may be used to promote awareness, understanding, and acceptance of those with disabilities. We provide guidelines for selecting high-quality literature and ideas for using characterizations of learning disabilities to teach students about themselves and others. Two sample lesson plans and a list of 30 recommended books are included.

Learning Disabilities in Children's and Adolescent Literature: How are Characters Portrayed?

Ninety fictional books written for children or adolescents that portrayed at least one character with a learning disability were analyzed to determine how learning disabilities and related topics were addressed. Results indicated that most of the characters with learning disabilities were dynamic, meaning they changed or grew through the course of the story line. Also, most were the main character, the story was told from their point of view, and their learning disability had a major impact on the plot. Most commonly the learning disability was in the areas of reading and written language, with the character receiving services in a resource room. The diagnostic/evaluation process was often described, but few details about instructional methods were part of the story. Both negative and positive portrayals of teachers were evident.
