Cheryl Lucas is an occupational therapist with over 30 years of experience in the field. She has worked as a clinician and an administrator in the areas of neuro-rehabilitation, orthopedics, home health, and pediatrics and has been working in academia 5 years ago. Since that time, Cheryl has added cultural humility training into the OT curriculum in the program where she teaches, focusing on student self-assessment in the areas of white privilege and unconscious bias and its effect on client treatment. As graduate coordinator, she has used a holistic approach to admissions and admitted a cohort of very diverse students for the first time into the program. This adds to the educational experience of all students and reflects the current U.S. population students will be treating upon graduation. She recently presented her dissertation work on the academic experiences of occupational therapists of color at the World Federation of Occupational Therapy Conference held in Cape Town, South Africa.
On this episode, Cheryl shares about why she is passionate about inclusiveness in OT education and her research and work in targeting implicit bias, marginalization and racism through promoting cultural humility, inclusiveness, and universal design for learning (UDL) in OT education.
