TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Using a transdisciplinary model to address inequities in field placements for teacher candidates with disabilities JO - International journal of inclusive education A1 - Bargerhuff, Mary Ellen A1 - Cole, Donna J. A1 - Teeters, Laura SP - 185 EP - 206 VL - 16 IS - 2 N2 - This paper examines the contradiction between articulated university policy on diversity/inclusion and actual practice with regard to field placements for teacher candidates with disabilities. Analysis of a unique case study involving a teacher candidate with traumatic brain injury illustrates the inequities of the traditional concern conference method to addressing problems in the field. Authors propose a transdisciplinary team model as a more inclusive approach to capitalising on the strengths of teacher candidates.
