To demonstrate how the framework can be used to consider a wide range of books, we applied the framework to the 15 awardees of the Dolly Gray Award from the Division of Autism and Developmental Disabilities of the Council for Exceptional Children (see Figure 1 for information about the award and Table 1 for a list of awardees and how to apply the framework). The award has both recognized and inspired many changes in the ways that disability has been portrayed in children’s literature across the past 15 years. Although Dolly Gray awardees provide a benchmark of excellence from which to explore issues of equity and portrayal of disabilities, there remain issues with each book that teachers should consider carefully while making curriculum decisions.
