Including Disability as Diversity in your teaching can involve any number of factors, such as making classes accessible to students with disabilities, accommodating your own disability in a class, and incorporating disability studies perspectives into your course content.
A number of units on campus exist to support you in addressing these different goals, and the growing field of Disability Studies - emerging out of the disability rights movement - is also a valuable source of information. The following are just an introduction to the many resources available.
Many thanks to Becky Reed Rosenberg, Director of the UW Bothell Center for Teaching and Learning, and Amy Vidali, Assistant Professor at University of Colorado at Denver, for compiling these resources.
