Dear Diary...

Children often feel anxious about disabilities they don’t understand.

In this lesson, your pupils will be introduced to a range of disabilities and medical conditions by creating an imaginary friend. They will write a diary entry from their friend’s point of view about the day they met each other. Each disability and condition has its own factsheet to explain what it is, how it happens and how it might affect a child day-to-day.
