Lesson Idea | Portrait of the Whole Person - Disability Rights Washington

The Portrait of the Whole Person curriculum is a thoughtful program designed for elementary students by Disability Rights Washington State. It aims to teach students about disability rights within the context of the civil rights movement. The curriculum encourages learners to see disability as a reflection of societal attitudes toward differences. It includes four lesson plans that combine in-class instruction with a project where students research and write a biographical sketch of a notable person with a disability. Accompanied by graphic organizers, rubrics, and PowerPoint presentations, this curriculum promotes respect and dignity for individuals with disabilities.
