Course Overview:
Caring for children who have parents with a physical disability in times of crisis, includes particular care and communication challenges. These unique care contexts are not typically addressed in traditional educational programs, and practitioners and learners are often left underprepared. We will review a large scale simulation involving persons with physical disabilities as simulated caregivers for pediatric victims of a disaster.
