This IRB approved study explored the experience of those students with physical disabilities during nursing school. Through qualitative research, interviews were conducted to identify themes related to disclosure of disabilities, available accommodations, and practice implications. Overarching themes identified included: disclosure, advocacy, appreciation, overcoming barriers, and flexibility vs boundaries. During this presentation, research findings will be reviewed and a facilitated discussion will explore strategies for successful interaction between faculty and students with disabilities.
I am teaching in the Nursing department. I teach clinical and didactic courses. I'd love to talk about interactive online learning, student engagement and professional development.
