Boundary Training 117

Course overview

Recognize disability in your practice. Today one in five Americans has a disability and this percent will continue to increase because of medical advances and the aging of our population. Become familiar with the range of disabilities including those involving mobility, hearing, speech, vision as well as the wide range of non-apparent disabilities. Integrate the course's Seven Themes for Setting Appropriate Boundaries with the Disability Community into your everyday practice. Avoid limiting beliefs about what people with disability can or cannot do. Today people with disability have access to technological and other adaptive techniques that make full inclusion possible. Gain disability competence through skillful navigation of physical boundaries as well as psychological, emotional and social boundaries.
