Abstract
  • The goal of this project is to provide information on Project SEARCH and working with people with disabilities (PWD) in the hospital to healthcare managers and leaders where Project SEARCH students complete their rotations. The data suggests that there is a limited understanding of PWD in the workplace and disability awareness training is an effective way to provide a more inclusive environment to improve students’ occupational performance (Rochette et al., 2022). Thus, a video module was created to improve employees’ knowledge and understanding. A needs assessment was completed prior to help inform the determination of this project. Pretests and posttests were used to measure the healthcare workers’ attitudes and knowledge toward Project SEARCH and working with PWD. Interviews were also conducted on the students to gain their perspectives. Accomplishments include response and completion rates, increase in ratings between the pre and posttests, and the number of employees willing to provide feedback. Keywords: advocacy, occupational performance, workplace, people with disabilities (PWD), Project SEARCH
