The ABCs of Inclusion

A Disability Inclusion Book For Kids

By: Beth Leipholtz, Vuon Illustration

Narrated by: Mia Armstrong

This edition of a bestseller provides the perfect learning opportunity to introduce the concept of disabilities and other differences to kids—from the beloved family behind Beth & Coop.

In a relatable, positive, and compassionate voice, disability advocate and social media content creator Beth Leipholtz introduces twenty-six real kids with autism, hearing differences, epilepsy, Down syndrome, and more than a dozen other diagnoses. Their stories remind us that people with disabilities are all around us, and all children deserve to be seen, heard, valued, understood, and loved.

Beth Leipholtz is the hearing mother of a deaf child, raising her son, Cooper, bilingually in both hearing and Deaf cultures. On Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, she has built an online community of more than 1 million people to uplift parents on similar journeys and advocate for inclusion and accessibility. Her desire to spread the message of inclusion and connection led to creating a brand-new edition of The ABCs of Inclusion.
