Videotape
Series:
Profiles of Health Sciences Professionals with Disabilities
There
are hundreds, if not thousands, of Health Science professionals
with disabilities, successfully practicing in a variety
of fields and settings. Many of these practicing professionals
are also teaching faculty.
In this four-part video series, a number of health science
professionals from throughout the nation speak in their
own words about the experiences and strategies that
enabled them to be successful practitioners. Many of
the profiles include clinical footage of these professionals
working with patients and demonstrating the accommodations
and adaptive technologies they use on the job. Those
profiled discuss the unique issues of being a person
with a disability in health care, such as patient safety
and liability, disclosure of disability, and patient
confidence.

Faculty
Training Curriculum Package:
"A Day in the Life"
"A Day
in the Life of Health Science Students" a faculty
in-service training curriculum, was designed to specifically
address the unique issues Health Science faculty encounter
in teaching students. The training materials focus on
a number of key themes and apply these themes to the
specific and practical skills taught to students in
a variety of Health Science programs, including medicine,
nursing, dentistry, dental hygiene, dental assisting,
clinical laboratory science, radiology, and others.
Key Themes
>>>The goal of the ADA is to create a "level
playing field" through equal access and accommodations.
>>>Health Science students and professionals
with disabilities bring knowledge, skills, and experiences
that can enhance patient care.
>>>Focus on specific functional limitations
within the context of environments, skills, and duties,
rather than on disability labels.
>>>Problem solving is an important way to identify
strategies and accommodations that a person needs to
function in different environments.
>>>Focus on Universal Design strategies that
enhance learning for a widely diverse group of students,
rather than on special accommodations.
The training
package includes a PowerPoint disk, overhead transparencies,
exercises, training hints, and a practice script. The
curriculum will be available by Summer, 2002.
