Abstract

The increase of inclusive education in the United States has heightened the need for disability awareness among individuals without disabilities. As more students with and without disabilities share classrooms, teachers must help their students be aware and respectful of individual differences, including disabilities. However, many educators need to develop the skill of fostering awareness and openness toward different ability levels in the classroom. Literature that addresses best practice in teaching students about disabilities can be helpful in this regard. This article describes how teachers can develop disability awareness in their students, specifically with the use of online videos.
