I first wrote about this disability awareness documentary and curriculum by Massachusetts teacher Maggie Doben in May. The Boston Globe covered her work in August and now the Christian Science Monitor writes about her project.In the picture, her students watch her documentary, "Labeled Disabled."
Doben says of her first grade class who are learning about disability and meeting many different people with disabilities: "Helping to answer their questions really does combat discriminatory behaviors. Children of 6 already have stereotypes ... but [they] are very apt to challenge those stereotypes and be able to turn their thinking around."
