10E: Inclusive competency: Addressing ableism in nursing education

Friday, September 20 |  4:30 p.m. – 5:15 p.m. 

Institutions must discern whether disability accommodation fundamentally alters an essential requirement of the course or program. This session will focus on key strategies for navigating academic and student support programs, services, and activities that promote a culture of inclusivity for students with disabilities, consider the unique challenges that accompany nursing education programs, support student success, and identify how ableism can contribute to unnecessary barriers.
