I believe that alot of the "what's wrong with them?" questions are related to younger children not being aware that not everyone is the same. That program in schools is a great idea!!

Being the parent of a special needs kiddo I am all too aware of how many children are not taught how to react to a disabled child (especially a child with developmental disabilities who may look "normal"). I truly think that this type of lesson should be built into all grades at school. As my younger dd tells her friends "People may be different on the outside - but everyone is the same on the inside and we all have feelings". Thanks for posting about this - the more people are aware that they need to teach their children, the less "what's her problem" looks parents like me will get from others (sometimes parents need to learn this lesson too!) This is an awesome program!
