ACCOMODATION FOR A DISABILITY ON FIELDWORK
Please review section the SHP Student Handbook regarding Services for Students with Disabilities.
Each fieldwork site has Essential Functions for Performance of an occupational therapy student. Disclosure of a disability to the Academic Fieldwork Coordinator and the Fieldwork Educator is strongly encouraged and is the responsibility of the student. When a student discloses a disability to both educators as described, the Academic Fieldwork Coordinator can collaborate with The Office of Disability Services when planning fieldwork, and with the Fieldwork Educator and the student to determine the need for any reasonable accommodation in meeting the essential functions of an occupational therapy assistant student at the fieldwork site. Regardless of accommodation, each student must meet the essential functions of the site and receive a passing grade on the fieldwork evaluation.
