Here's a terrific video clip that illustrates how we are all different, yet all special in our own way. This represents all children, all people. I think it's an excellent tool for explaining what diversity means. We can recognize ourselves here, each of us relating to one or more of the animals. Here's to teachers who 'get it' and help our students realize their potential. When I need to define what autism means, I think of this clip to help me find the words.
