Classroom Considerations
  • While the worksheets in this packet identify various types of disabilities, stereotypes, and disability services, it doesn't do much to discuss the severity and emotional impact of these conditions. This is key to gaining a real awareness of disabilities
Pros
  • Quizzes and activities provide excellent discussion starters
  • Includes worksheets to support each activity
Cons
  • Activities listed are fairly general, and may require some modifications to make the experiences more meaningful
