At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
Participants will understand the depth and breadth of the challenges students with disabilities encounter during their field practicum placements at schools of social work.
Participants will be able to share insights from student experiences in field education applying ADA accommodations.
Participants will understand recommendations for programmatic changes that support students with disabilities.
