Title:Disability History: An Important Part of Americas Heritage
Link: http://www.dol.gov/odep/documents/Disability%20His…
Description: Teaching children about the contributions of particular populations to our nations history, such as women and people of various ethnic backgrounds, has been recognized as important through the declaration of dedicated months as well as other educational programs. Disability history, however, has been largely ignored in school curricula. This is particularly paradoxical since anyone, regardless of age, race, or heritage, may become a part of the population of people with disabilities at any time. But the tide is beginning to turndue mainly to the grassroots efforts of young disability leaders.
This document gives an overview of several youth-led state efforts and the positive outcomes that result from the involvement in such efforts. The document also includes an extensive list of resources.
