Abstract

Bibliotherapy, the process of reading books with therapeutic intent, can be applied for students with disabilities, who often experience peer rejection and low self-esteem. Various settings are appropriate, including the resource room or inclusive classroom. Bibliotherapy is an effective tool for developing reading comprehension and self-concept.
