Disability Worksheets

Our students have a beautiful mix of abilities. Help your class become more aware of limited abilities and special needs that those around them may have or experience. Language arts activities, daily activity books, and fiction and nonfiction readers all help expose students to the lives of those with disabilities. Take advantage of our glyphs and critical thinking activities as well as our extensive special needs unit. This comprehensive unit has all you need to meet your students and their needs no matter what they are.
Everyone has different abilities. Some of us need help doing things others can do alone. This theme unit is about people of different abilities and the different kinds of help they may need. Knowledge is the path to acceptance and understanding of everyone, no matter what unique abilities or needs each person has.
