Bring the perspectives of people with diverse abilities into your classroom, and create a learning environment that rejects ableism. From lessons on art, activism and physical disabilities to a feature story about new developments in deaf education, our resources will help your students embrace diverse abilities and understand the injustices people with disabilities often encounter.
