Abstract: Sharon Boyce has an extensive background in education has developed this kit to promote equity and understanding of disability in schools. Her candid discussion about her personal experience combined with academic argument for the merits of inclusion and practical guidelines for inclusion, make this an invaluable resource for all educators.The material presented is comprehensive in its coverage of aspects of living with a disability. As well as suggesting awareness raising activities for early childhood, primary and secondary classes, Boyce includes useful information on support services offered by Education Queensland and inclusive pedagogies such as Gardner’s multiple intelligences and Bloom’s’ taxonomy. She gives guidance on how people with disabilities feel about the way others approach them appropriate language for referring to disabilities, design principles and Australian standards for accessible buildings. In one section Boyce tells her own story of living with rheumatoid arthritis and dealing with the reactions of others to her disability. There is nothing sensational or patronising in her approach – her purpose is to raise awareness and debunk common misconceptions. She ‘stars’ in an amateur DVD that will help students to empathise with the everyday adaptations that enable her to live a full life – teachers will need to select samples from the lengthy production. Accompanying posters also help to personalise Sharon’s experience. Details of the Boyce’s Discovering DisAbility and Diversity in-school programs are included. Some website references are out-of-date.• Teacher noteshttp://www.discoveringdisability.com.au/default.htm
