ADAI Lunch & Learn: Promoting Equitable Access: How to Make Clinical Care and Research Inclusive of People with Disabilities (Oct 25, 12pm PT)
10/09/2023Join us for our next Lunch & Learn webinar, October 25, 2023 (12-1pm PT) featuring ADAI Research Scientist Robin Harwick, PhD, MS!
About 42.5 million people in the US have a disability and yet many clinicians and researchers do not consider disability inclusion in their work. This can lead to people with disabilities being:
- Excluded from research studies
- Not receiving the care they need
- Being exited from programs or studies because of misunderstandings
In this talk, Robin Harwick, PhD, MS, a disability inclusion expert, will discuss how to make your clinical practice and research more inclusive of people with visible and “hidden” disabilities, including practical strategies for:
- Engaging people with disabilities in research and treatment
- Making accommodations
- Creating accessible materials
- This talk is essential for clinicians and researchers who want to ensure that their work is inclusive of and accessible to everyone.
