This workshop is designed to assist fieldwork supervisors to better support both disabled and non-disabled students’ learning needs. The presenter will provide concepts, case examples and communication strategies informed by disability studies and disability culture practices. Through self-reflexive exercises, participants will gain new knowledge around disability and accessibility, and leave with tools for training students from a more intersectional approach.
Objectives:
- Understand the difference between disability accommodations vs access needs.
- Identify and name three ableist examples from the participants’ own art therapy practice, supervisory relationships and/or institutions in which they work.
- Learn to use “accessibility and inclusive learning guidelines” to enhance professionalism and communication skills around disability accommodations and access needs
