This curriculum focuses on providing students in grades 7 through 9 with information on the prevention of disabilities. Introductory material describes the curriculum's development; its overall goals; and its four elements (awareness, knowledge, application of knowledge, and life-style and behavior patterns). The introduction also provides background information covering definitions, prevalence, causes of disabilities, effects of disabilities, and prevention. A checklist provides a listing of key concepts and grade levels in which they are covered. Each of the three grade-level modules contains three units: one with general information; one aimed at attitudes and social inclusion; and one presenting methods for preventing disabilities. Lesson plans include one or more goals, specific objectives, suggested activities, evaluation options, and suggested resources. Each module also contains a section of teaching notes, which provides background information including facts, statistics, and charts, and a section of resources, which provides many of the teaching materials needed for the suggested activities as well as lists of suggested videotapes, sources for printed materials and brochures, and lists of organizations. A glossary is also provided. (Contains 48 references.) (DB)
