Can you make your class disabled friendly?

There's not a lot of good class material out there that raises the issue of equality in the face of disabilities. However, here's one I can recommend: a lesson plan by Bren Brennan entitled Success or failure???


It's suitable for teenage+/ upper-intermediate+ and comes complete with student handout plus teacher's notes. As you might expect, the lesson get students to consider what makes somebody's life a success or a failure and focusses on a video of Nick Vujicic who talks about how he's faced life's challenges without arms and legs. Quite rousing stuff!

Also, take a look at the Disabled Access Friendly website which has lesson plans listed by CEF level and age group.
