Disability History Education Resources

Providing free education tools and materials for teachers, interpreters, students, and lifelong learners inside and outside the National Park Service is one important way we support the agency's mission. The value of America's cultures and diverse heritages may be lost if it's not passed on to the next generation or experienced by the present one.

The National Park Service offers free online lesson plans through its Teaching with Historic Places series. The lessons below encourage students to explore disability history through America’s historic sites.

The National Park Service also encourages lifelong learners to explore sites of disability history. Learn more about sites of disability history or explore the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers travel itinerary.
