Description
Are you teaching students about disabilities? This is an editable no prep 130+ page lesson on the history of disabilities, ableism, physical disabilities, neurodiversity, developmental disabilities, and mental health differences.
This lengthy lesson can be broken up across multiple classes, or as a whole unit! Included is a video on the history of disabilities.
This unit covers many disabilities, including:
