A student with a disability will be commencing a practicum and I am concerned that their condition may effect their ability to complete it, what should I do?
In the first instance you should approach the student in a discreet manner and discuss any concerns that you have. This should be done well in advance of the commencement of the practicum. You should check for any special requirements the student may have, and if they are registered with Disability Services. If required, a meeting can be arranged academic staff, the student and Disability Services to discuss the practicum requirements. A Disability Services Officer will be able to assist in arranging this meeting.
