Field education is the signature pedagogy of social work education. Few studies have described the experience of people with disabilities in this quintessential learning environment. This poster seeks to address this gap by exploring disability-related practicums, accommodations for students with disabilities, and inclusive practices for disabled field instructors.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
Attendees will be able to identify the frequency and type of internship experiences for social work students within the field of disability.
Attendees will review common accommodations for students with disabilities, including the process for securing these supports and services for social work practicums.
Attendees will strategize opportunities for meaningful change, including how to extend universal design principles to internship policies, procedures, and practices.
