Instructional Ideas

• Consider assigning an extension project in which learners choose a station that interested them and conduct further research about the disability, as well as ways to support those challenged by the disability
• Practice going through each of the stations yourself so you are fully prepared to discuss the activities with your students

Classroom Considerations

• Given the depth of knowledge and experience at each station, it would be best if this activity were performed with support from other adults or instructors at each station
• Please note that technology use is required at three of the stations

Pros

• All materials for each station provided (see resource's included materials)
• Hands-on, engaging learning experience

Cons

• None
