Diabetes education for people with disabilities
Abstract
The AADE recognizes the special diabetes education and care needs of people with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that diabetes educators provide reasonable accommodations to people with disabilities in response to their particular individual needs. This position statement has been developed to provide guidance to diabetes educators regarding their ethical and legal responsibilities to people with disabilities, and to promote diabetes education for people with disabilities that is equal in quality to that received by people with no current disability.
