Accommodations facilitate learning for students with disabilities. Classroom accommodations are more common and straightforward to implement. Clinical educators, including outplacement clinical educators, may be less familiar with methods to incorporate accommodations in clinical education. This presentation will center the experiences of students with disabilities in clinical education to discuss laws related to accommodations and practical and actionable ideas for clinical educators. Information from other related fields will also be incorporated into the discussion.

Learning Objectives

  • List themes identified based on the lived experiences of students with disabilities in their clinical education
  • Outline possible barriers and solutions to providing accommodations in clinical education settings.
  • Evaluate ways in which disability accommodation needs are being met within their program or clinical setting.
