Inclusive Resources for Schools and Classrooms
Inclusive Education NZ provides children's stories, audiobooks, flipbooks, printable PDFs and sensory learning resources designed to help schools introduce disability, difference and belonging in positive and relatable ways.
Our resources are created for use with all children. We believe disability should be represented naturally in everyday stories, classroom conversations and learning experiences rather than only discussed when a disabled child is present.
Teachers, learning support staff, early learning centres and inclusive organisations can use the resources to support literacy, wellbeing, disability awareness, sensory learning and classroom conversations about inclusion.
Ways Schools Can Use Our Resources
The resources can be used independently or incorporated into existing classroom learning and discussion.
Classroom Reading
Use inclusive stories and flipbooks during shared reading, literacy activities or independent reading time.
Disability Awareness
Help children understand disability, accessibility and difference through relatable characters and age-appropriate conversations.
Sensory Learning
Use Sensory Sensations resources to explore how children experience sound, touch, movement, smell, taste and sight differently.

Support discussions about friendship, kindness, empathy, participation and what it means to belong.
Accessible Learning

Designed for All Children
Inclusive education is not only about providing support when a disabled child joins a classroom. It is also about creating environments where every child grows up understanding that people communicate, learn, move and experience the world in different ways.
Our stories deliberately include disabled and non-disabled characters together. Sometimes disability is part of the story, while at other times it is simply part of who a character is.
This helps children encounter disability through ordinary stories about friendship, adventure, imagination and everyday life.
Stories Where Every Child Belongs
