Disability Content in Social Work Education

 
The CSWE Council on Disability and Persons With Disabilities recommends the article, “Assessment of Integration of Disability Content into Social Work Education,” printed in the Journal of Social Work in Disability and Rehabilitation, which addresses the medical and strengths-based approaches to disability studies. It also examines how social work programs incorporate disability studies into their diversity courses, primarily to comply with the 2015 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards.
 
Survey data in the article shows that the topic of disability is primarily addressed in ethics; practice with individuals, families, or groups; and human rights and social and economic justice courses. The authors support an intersectional approach that infuses disability studies throughout the curriculum, which will lead to more well-rounded social work graduates. The article also explores barriers that prevent the inclusion of disability studies.
