This Kind of Child: The 'Disability' Story
About the Book A SENSITIVE AND EYE-OPENING ACCOUNT OF THE LIVES OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES AND THOSE AROUND THEM ‘I am the mother of a child who did not fit the school system, a child who was disabled by it. She was a child who made “errors”, “mistakes” that the school system was unforgiving of. We were told by the principal of an alternative school that they could not possibly admit “this kind of child”. My daughter went from being a child to “this kind of child” in that one moment.’ When she started working on the book, it was Srilata’s daughter who was its protagonist. But soon, she realised that there was no way she could stop with her daughter’s story. With eac...
What and how does this child see?
"WHAT and HOW Does this Child See?" is a question that is asked each day by many professionals in early intervention and education about children with disabilities. This book attempts to help you structure your questions so that you can look for answers together with other members of your team. This book is a collection of questions and answers from lectures presented by Lea Hyvärinen, MD, PhD, FAAP, and Namita Jacob, PhD, in a number of countries. It is written for teachers and members of early intervention and rehabilitation teams of children with disabilities, but it also provides valuable information to ophthalmologists, optometrists, neurologists, pediatricians, psychologists, and research workers in early intervention and special education.
Empowering Children:
Principles, Strategies, and Techniques for Mobilizing Child Participation in the Development Process Empowering Children is especially designed for field practitioners seeking ways to encourage young people—particularly the marginalized—to become more involved in changing their circumstances. Through dozens of exercises and lessons, the book presents a variety of practical methods for engaging children in the development process—from assessments to evaluations. Discussions on issues such as personal empowerment, self-esteem, problem analysis, and child protection can equip leaders to help children serve as agents of change who understand how valuable they are. The book concludes with preparations for a community child participation plan. From a Christian perspective, the realization that all children have dignity and are created in the image of God helps us to see that every child's input is valuable. The Bible's concepts of community, church, and mission further help us to see that God not only uses kids in his wonderful plan, but that he also wants all of his children—male, female, young, and old—to participate in his work in the world.
Helping Children who are Blind
Children develop faster in the first 5 years of life than any other time, and children who are blind need extra help so they can learn how to use their other senses - hearing, touch, smell and taste - to explore, learn and interact with the world.

The book covers many topics, including assessing how much a child can see, preventing blindness, helping a child move around safely, details on how to include learning activities in daily work, preparing for child care or school, supporting parents of blind children and teaching common activities like eating, dressing and personal hygiene.

Toward a Political Philosophy of Race
Timely, controversial, and incisive, Toward a Political Philosophy of Race looks uncompromisingly at how a liberal society enables racism and other forms of discrimination. Drawing on the examples of the internment of U.S. citizens and residents of Japanese descent, of Muslim men and women in the contemporary United States, and of Asian Indians at the turn of the twentieth century, Falguni A. Sheth argues that racial discrimination and divisions are not accidents in the history of liberal societies. Race, she contends, is a process embedded in a range of legal technologies that produce racialized populations who are divided against other groups. Moving past discussions of racial and social justice as abstract concepts, she reveals the playing out of race, racialization of groups, and legal frameworks within concrete historical frameworks.

Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace
Your DEIJ efforts are stagnating because you continue to center whiteness. Creating a truly anti-racist organization requires learning how to identify and rectify the systemic, and often unconscious, centering of white culture and values in the workplace. Corporate America continues to struggle with racial equity in a post-George Floyd world. As the United States becomes more diverse and the public consciousness continues to shift, successful racial equity efforts in the workplace are needed now more than ever. Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace exposes the ways that white culture and expectations are centered in the modern American workplace and the fears within corporate spaces about t...
