Our Inclusion Committee and the staff of Wicklund Elementary have been hard at work compiling a list of books, digital content, podcasts, and more that present a variety of topics and disabilities in positive ways.  Titles marked with an asterisk (*) are available at the Wicklund School Library.  This list is always in progress.  Have a great resource to share?  Contact our Inclusion Committee Chair, Andrea Gehmlich, at Andrea@mhwsf.org.
