I also favor portrayals of disabled children in everyday situations as real people. Hiliary McKay's series about the Casson family (Saffy's Angel; Indigo's Star; Permanent Rose; and Caddy Ever After) comes to mind. Saffy's good friend, Sarah, sometimes known as "the wheelchair girl" early in the friendship does everything. It's easy to forget that Sarah is in a wheelchair. Her friends are respectful of her but do not coddle or fuss over her.
