  • 1.  Reasonable Accommodations in Field Education Placements?

    Posted 13 days ago

    What reasonable accommodations do you typically see offered to students in field education, and which ones seem less reasonable and harder for agencies to put into practice? How are these accommodations usually communicated with placement sites? What helps the RA process go smoothly for everyone involved?

    I logged on tonight to ask about this very thing!

    I know that some university "disabilities" offices offer accommodations for for courses but do not discuss practicum in their assessment.

    I did work at a university that offered practicum accommodations, but I cannot remember what specific ones were offered.

    Thank you for raising this very important question!

    I was searching through this platform for some information on admissions, and one of the first results that came up was a presentation from the last APM titled It's time to act: Championing Disability Justice and Disability Joy in Social Work

    Greetings 
    The accommodations I am most likely to see are related to extended time on exams and extending days for when an assignment is due.

    Hi Heather! I clicked on the link and was not able to access the slides. Are you able to share a copy or direct me to the original location of the slide deck you referenced?
