One Out of Five - Intro to Disability

Intro to Disability (A One Out of Five lesson)

*This lesson was developed by Washington State’s “One Out of Five” and links to an external source.

Summary:
This is the first lesson in Washington State’s “One Out of Five” series. The purpose of this lesson is to humanize the experience of disability by focusing on student-voice videos, recognize diversity within the disability community, and discuss ways to promote accessibility.

One Out of Five was designed by the Washington State Governor's Office of the Education Ombuds in partnership with Rooted in Rights and two local educators, Adina Rosenberg and Sarah Arvey. One Out of Five is designed for middle school ELA classes, but can be modified for other grade levels or subject areas. This resource can be used during Disability History Month or any other time during the school year. The lessons are designed to be taught in order, but also function as stand-alone lessons and/or activities. Lessons are broken into 5 - 15 min components, and can be used to introduce ideas and vocabulary words on a limited time schedule
