Diversity and the Differently Abled

Jacquelyn Hop, RN BSN MSN MBA CPN LHCRM

Alexia Hop, BSN RNSlide2

Changes in on-campus populations

Diversity is more than skin deep

Increasing number of students with different abilities

National Center for Educational Statistics, 2017Slide3

Simulations

Small representation of what a person with these differences may encounter

No opportunity to develop coping mechanisms

Goal: recognize adaptive aids to enable differently abled people be successful

Burgstahler & Doe, 2004Slide4

Simulation 1

Schizophrenia Simulation

Schizophrenia—

Characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, extremely disorganized or abnormal motor behavior and lack of ability to function normally in everyday life.

Hallucinations may present in any of the senses, most commonly presenting as hearing voices.Symptoms can vary in type and severity over time, with periods of worsening and remission of symptoms. Some symptoms may always be present.Males typically diagnosed early to mid 20s, females typically diagnosed later 20s—often college aged.

Simulation 1: Part 1

Get your kits, choose partner A and partner B, each receiving corresponding papers. Do not show your partner your paper!

With your partner, partner A will play the audio file first with headphones, while partner B asks questions from the paper, not listening to the audio file.

After partner A has answered all of the questions, it will be partner B’s turn to try. Partner A will ask questions from the A paper while partner B listens to the audio file.

Simulation 1: Part 2

For this exercise, everyone should have their headphones in, playing the audio file, restart the file if necessary.

Now you and your partner will work with the partners next to you to make a group of four.

You will have 6 minutes to build a marshmallow tower with toothpicks.

The goal is to build the tallest and most stable tower (must stand for 30 seconds after time is called)The group who has the highest tower that stays standing wins!

Simulation 1: Debriefing

In your groups of four, please discuss the following questions:

What were your first reactions when attempting to complete the activities?

Was this experience what you expected? Where could you have done something differently?

What do you think would have assisted you in completing the activities more easily?Slide10

Simulation 1: Debriefing

Recommendations:

Maintain a safe environment

Hear them out, communicate as you would with anyone elseMaintain good eye contact without staring—avoid direct continuous eye contact

Don’t be distracted when communicating; Ex) texting, fidgeting, etc. Avoid touching the personIf the person is standing or pacing, sit down and ask the person to sit down with youPatience—validate that you heard what they said, not necessarily what they are hearing. Don’t lie to themDo not shout, show anger or resentment

Simulation 2

This will be an individual activity

You will hear a spelling test. Your goal is to write down each word you hear.

You will have 3 seconds to write each word.Some words will be simulated to portray high frequency hearing loss, conductive loss, or distortion with a hearing aid.

For the last set of words, please refer to the next slide.Burgstahler & Doe, 2004Slide14

Simulation 2: Debrief

In your groups of four, please discuss the following questions:

What made things more difficult or easier for you?

Were the visual aids beneficial to your understanding or interpretation of the stated words?Slide17

Wrap it up!

(Just kidding, the STD lecture is down the hall)

ADA: “reasonable accommodations”

Inclusion=nobody gets left behind

Diversity extends beyond what meets the eyeIt makes us who we are
