The purpose of this special communication is to provide practical, evidence-based recommendations and examples of inclusive and accessible teaching practices that can be effectively used in pediatric physical therapy (PT) education to: (1) ensure equity in education, (2) elevate all voices, and (3) facilitate anti-oppressive learning environments.
Concrete action items and strategies addressing these 3 recommendations are provided at all levels of the ecological model framework.
Pediatric PT clinical and academic educators must work proactively to ensure learning environments are inclusive of everyone. Pediatric PT educators need to take the time to self-reflect, change their behaviors, and use inclusive, accessible, and anti-oppressive education practices. This will create equitable learning opportunities to successfully meet the needs of our learners, children, and families with whom we engage regularly in our personal and professional lives.
