In an effort to promote better treatment and protection of students with disabilities, a new Florida law will require public K-12 schools to develop curriculum on disability history and awareness. As per the law, during the first two weeks of October students will learn about disability history and different types of disabilities through supplemental lesson plans or other school-related activities.
While it’s a step toward inclusion and awareness, educators are advised to be mindful of language in the bill that might leave some topics out. For more info from K-12 Dive, click here.
