All individuals (with or without disabilities) must meet the essential functions of the job or experience and meet all performance expectations (with or without reasonable accommodations) in order to successfully complete field placements.
“Field Placements” include any practicum, field experience, student teaching, clinical practice, internship, training, clinic, capstones/community partnerships, co-ops, or work experiences conducted for academic credit.
Site Placement Supervisor/Field Placement Coordinator Responsibilities
- The PSU academic department field placement coordinator will collaborate with the DRC in assisting the student with evaluating the fit of various field placement options. Note: this may only be possible if the student registers with the DRC immediately after being accepted into the program, depending on the program itself.
- The site supervisor will alert the academic department if the student discusses their disability or the need for accommodations when they are not already receiving accommodations through the DRC.
- The PSU academic department field placement coordinator will alert the DRC about any concerns they may have about accommodations not being met by field placement site.
