A Mixed Methods Exploratory Study of Availability, Compliance, and Inclusivity of Technical Standards in United States Professional Physical Therapist Education Programs
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to assess the availability and inclusivity of technical standards (TS) in U.S. physical therapist education programs, particularly regarding their impact on students with disabilities (SWD). Through a mixed methods study, they found that while 75% of programs had TS available, nearly half were unclear about their willingness to accommodate SWD, highlighting areas for improvement in inclusivity. The study underscores the need for further research to understand how TS affect SWD's access to physical therapist education.
