Curriuclum Corporation was commissioned to undertake this project by the Victorian Department of Planning and Community Development, Office for Disability.

The product is a suite of community awareness resources for students from Preparatory to Year 8 levels. The objective is to increase teachers' and students' awareness of people with a disability and the societal barriers that prevent them from fully participating in the community and achieving their potential.

The Teacher Awareness resource Kit comprises:

  • A booklet for teachers with information on the range of disabilities;
  • Lesson plans, activities and handouts;
  • A Train-the-Trainer Module;
  • A CD-ROM with all of the above;
  • A DVD that includes vignettes of students with a disability and interviews with teachers, principals and parents
  • A poster; and
  • A brochure.

The Office for Disability provided a copy of the Kit to all Victorian schools in September 2009. A copy of the kit can also be downloaded from the Office for Disability website at http://www.officefordisability.vic.gov.au.
