Dynamic Characters With Communication Disorders in Children's LiteratureUniversity of Cincinnati
University of Cincinnati Using quality children's literature with portrayals of characters that have communication impairments can be an effective teaching tool. Storybook characters with communication disorders can provide positive role models and promote understanding of diverse populations. Eighteen children's books were selected based on the following criteria: publication dates between 1994 and 2001, reading levels between preschool and eighth grade, and main characters with speech, language, or hearing disorders. Curriculum topics were summarized for integration into state academic content areas.
