Matan has been working on disability and inclusion in the Jewish community by sharing resources and training educators. Their collection of lessons for JDAIM are grouped by grade, with age-appropriate big ideas, objectives, and handouts. Each lesson also includes accessibility notes– it's important to keep these considerations in mind when planning programming, and JDAIM is a good time to take on the practice if you haven't yet already done so.
