The Teaching Disability History group is focused on providing primary source materials and resources for the study of disability in history in K-12 schools. This group also provides a discussion forum for all teachers of students with disabilities.

Types of resources:

• News of teaching resources, including curriculum and primary source collections
• Discussion of current publications and articles online and in print about developments and research on disability history
• News and discussion of local, state, and national policies and efforts to advance disability history

The "Disability History" group is now, "Teaching Disability History." The interest group of educators and activists working at the local, state, and national levels to advance K-12 Disability History. We meet bi-monthly. 

Topics to discuss include: state mandates to teach disability history, exemplary disability history standards, effective programs at the state level, integration of disability history into teacher education, disability history and Special Education, support for teachers with disabilities, National History Day projects on disability history, practicing disability in Culturally Relevant Pedagogy, grass roots campaigns, the future of disability history, and more!
