Among the lesson topics are I Have Feelings; Valuing the People in My Community; Step Into Someone Elseâ€™s Shoes; What It Means to Be a Family; I Can Stop to Make a Choice; and How You Are Makes a Difference. It is designed for use in classrooms where students with and without disabilities learn together; suggested adaptations are included.
