How can kids learn about cerebral palsy?
We have created a series of Kids’ Quests designed to get kids to think about people with disabilities and some of the issues related to participation in daily activities, health, and accessibility. The Quests were written for children in 4th through 6th grades, but can be modified by teachers or parents for use with children of other ages and abilities. Each Quest takes kids through a series of steps that encourage them to use the Internet to learn about a disability and the effect it has on a child’s life. One of the Kids’ Quests is about children who have a hard time moving around. Another is about children who have a hard time talking with other people. There is also a quest about children who have a hard time using the bathroom, dressing, or eating. The quests talk about children who have cerebral palsy, as well as children who have other disabilities.
