Technical Standards for Inclusive Physical Therapy Education: A Workshop Webinar
When:
As physical therapy programs expand their diversity initiatives to include individuals with disabilities, revisiting and revising technical standards has become increasingly important.
To support you on this transformative journey, ACAPT, in partnership with Drs. Amanda Sharp and Lisa Meeks, are pleased to present: "Technical Standards for Inclusive Physical Therapy Education: A Workshop Webinar."
Building on the groundwork established during the ACAPT Education Leadership Conference (ELC), this event goes beyond the 'why' and delves into the 'how' of revising technical standards (TS).
Join us for a 90-minute session that provides a comprehensive overview of best practices for technical standards, a step-by-step guide to revising them, and an in-depth exploration of specific domains within technical standards.
This workshop offers a unique opportunity for participants to engage with the physical therapy community and actively participate in the revision process, equipping them to make their institution's technical standards more inclusive.
Highlights:
Domain-Specific Insights: Gain a thorough understanding of concerns within specific domains of technical standards, ensuring comprehensive inclusivity.
Inclusive Language: Learn about alternative, inclusive language that can be incorporated into your technical standards, fostering a more welcoming and accessible learning environment.
Hands-On Revision: Participants will actively work on revising their institution's technical standards during the workshop, guided by experts in the field.
By the end of this webinar, participants will have the knowledge and tools to:
Identify Domain-Specific Concerns: Recognize and address specific concerns within TS that may affect learners with disabilities.
Revise for Inclusivity: Effectively revise their institution's TS to eliminate potentially discriminatory language and emphasize equitable standards, promoting a diverse and accessible educational experience.
