We have prepared a series of essays to assist teachers in integrating disability studies and disability history into the regular curriculum. Many of the essays were prepared specifically for the lesson plans developed through the project and are identified by unit.
When possible, we have provided these essays in alternate formats. If you require these essays, or any other materials, in a format not presented here, please let us know (see the Contact page).

We have identified some strategies for differentiated instruction that might be useful for teachers using lesson plans for the Disability Studies for Teachers project.
