Abstract	An individual's concept of disability depends upon one's experience, based on personal, physical, mental, and emotional knowledge (Linton, 1998; Wendell, 1996). The United Nations (United Nations, 2005) defines disability as any restriction or deficiency of ability to perform within the range of what is considered normal for an individual. A handicap, on the other hand, is a disadvantage for a person that is a result of an impairment or disability. Therefore, a person with a handicap is viewed as being unable to interact on an equal level with other community members. The four artists' works gathered for this Instructional Resource are designed to provide perspective on art that deals with different special needs within the concept of dis/ability. The objectives of this activity are to allow students to: (1) describe a work of art in terms that reflect the artist's perspective on a specific disability; (2) create a work of art that interprets the concept of dis/ability through the lens of stereotypes, social prejudice, social justice, and personal experiences; (3) write a short interpretive essay on a fellow student's work of art; and (4) write a short interpretive essay characterizing an exhibition of work focusing on disabilities.
