Discovery at paradise Island, an e-book by Sharon Boyce, has been recommended as a disability awareness resource:
The fun and discovery starts as soon as Alexandria and Sarah arrive at Paradise Island. What would usually be a relaxing holiday on a tropical island turns into an exciting adventure. Sarah thinks because Alexandria's mum is in a wheelchair their holiday will be quite boring. How wrong is she?
Special Numbers (App)
Special Numbers contains a set of activities to help develop early number skills, including counting, matching, ordering, comparing and selecting. It was designed in collaboration with parents, children, teachers and educational psychologists, and with reference to research into how children acquire mathematics skills. It ... includes some pictures from the See and Learn Language and Reading resources published by Down Syndrome Education International. These will be familiar to children who have used the paper-based See and Learn activities, or our Special Words app (which also uses these pictures).
