Free teaching resources to tackle hate crime and promote inclusion

The resources are accompanied by comprehensive teacher guidance. All materials are quality assured by the PSHE Association and have been developed through consultation with Dimensions subject experts. Students will look at facts and myths about learning disability and autism, explore a day in Sam’s life, and look at men and women who have challenged stereotypes in the past and present.

Challenging language & stereotypes

These two resources help teachers explore how language, behaviour and representation shape attitudes toward people with learning disabilities and autism.

• Challenging Language or Behaviour encourages students to reflect on disablist or discriminatory actions and consider practical ways to respond and support others.
• Challenging Stereotypes highlights inspirational individuals who have broken down barriers and defied expectations, helping students understand the diversity and potential of people with learning disabilities and autism.

Fact or Myth?

The Fact or Myth cards and answer sheet are designed to help teachers spark meaningful conversations about learning disabilities and autism. These resources challenge common misconceptions and promote understanding, empathy, and inclusion among students.
