Practicum Placement Accommodation

About the Practicum Placement Accommodation

The Practicum Placement Accommodation is available for students with a documented disability who are receiving support and accommodations through Accessible Learning Services at Mohawk College, and who are completing a Work-Integrated Learning component of their Program.

The Practicum Placement Accommodation is offered in an attempt to increase awareness of the student’s individual needs in support of the student’s success. The Practicum Placement Accommodation is a working document. Students, the program, and/or the placement may make changes to this form based on an evaluation of accommodation needs after placement begins.

The Purpose of the Practicum Placement Accommodation is to: 

• Act as a communication document that the student can share with those involved with their placement
• Provide a structured, strengths-based approach to discussing accommodation needs on placement
• Allow collaboration, when required, between academic and clinical faculty, college placement liaisons and on-site supervisors when planning for placement accommodations

Responsibilities of the Placement Site: 

• To accept requests for accommodation in good faith
• To maintain the confidentiality of students with disabilities
• To deal with accommodation requests in a timely manner
• To collaborate with placement students, academic and clinical faculty, college placement liaisons, and on-site supervisors to develop accommodations that follow the principles of dignity, individualization, inclusion and full participation
