Inclusion in the Primary Classroom is a practical resource to help promote inclusion and disability awareness. For teachers working to raise awareness in the area of diversity and inclusion. Both disabled and non-disabled children need help in recognising and understanding aspects of disability and inclusion. Bestselling author Margaret Collins provides a resource for the busy classroom teacher to engage all children in inclusive education. The book will create positive attitudes and will challenge and help change the children's perceived negative feelings. It demonstrates:

• that there are different kinds of disabilities

The first section focuses on making sure all disabled pupils are given a voice. The second section provides eight units of work that examine areas such as:

• race
• speech and language
• stereotypes
