Could anyone recommend any books or toys for an early years setting with a young person in a wheelchair?  School are looking to purchase resources which reflect other young people with physical needs.

Hello

You can get a Barbie and Ken in a wheelchair complete with a portable ramp!

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Barbie-Fashionistas-Doll-Wheelchair-Ramp/dp/B08HFZMN51

They also do dolls with prosthetic legs

Build a Bear do a wheelchair which a teddy can sit in.

Lots of dolls houses on the market sell dolls who use a wheelchair
