Little Mermaid – Mr B’s Classroom

Copenhagen Gets Another Ability Guidebook! I Am Going To Langelinie Park!

The Langelinie area in Copenhagen not only has the Little Mermaid, it has an amazing park full of monuments and history and a pier that and marina that welcomes thousands of tourists as their cruise ships dock nearby. These Ability Guidebooks are a support for people with autism who have stress from new situations. I hope it opens some doors!

I Am Going To See The Little Mermaid! The First Ability Guidebook for Denmark!

There are now Ability Guidebooks for 15 countries! FIFTEEN!!! This project has come a long way since I started making these for my own classroom field trips.

I’m thrilled to offer the people of Copenhagen this support for people with autism!
