This research was developed to understand supervisors’ experiences, attitudes, and biases when working with psychology trainees with disabilities, in order to better educate and support supervisors. An anonymous online survey that included 36 questions was developed based on previous literature on supervision and disability. Questions examined supervisors’ knowledge of their responsibility in providing disability accommodations, their own experiences, and one of two randomly assigned vignettes to simulate a live supervision scenario, with associated questions. In total, 143 current supervisors completed the survey across various specialty areas. Over half were female (66.4%) and largely Caucasian (85%), and the average number of years supervising was 5.1. Findings indicated that supervisors lacked formal training, sense of competence, knowledge of how to establish reasonable accommodations, and their role in this process. Supervisors with previous experience working with trainees with disability felt that supervising trainees with disabilities created more work, felt overwhelmed, and had concerns about trainees fulfilling expectations. However, working with trainees with disabilities increased opportunities for consultation, networking, and awareness, and many reported they were able to establish reasonable accommodations without difficulty. Findings indicated that supervisors lack awareness of disability issues in training. A definition and recommendations for building a disability-affirming environment are provided. These findings signal a call to action for supervisors to further their competence and awareness of disability in supervision and training.

谁先上？监督残疾心理学员并建立住宿。

本研究旨在了解主管在与残疾心理学学员合作时的经验、态度和偏见，以便更好地教育和支持主管。一项包含 36 个问题的匿名在线调查是根据先前有关监督和残疾的文献开发的。问题检查了主管对他们提供残疾住宿的责任的知识、他们自己的经验，以及两个随机分配的小插曲之一，以模拟现场监督场景，以及相关的问题。总共有 143 名现任主管完成了不同专业领域的调查。超过一半是女性 (66.4%)，主要是白人 (85%)，平均监督年数为 5.1 年。调查结果表明，主管缺乏正规培训、能力感、了解如何建立合理的便利以及他们在此过程中的作用。有过与残疾学员合作经验的主管认为，监督残疾学员创造了更多的工作，感到不知所措，并且担心学员实现期望。然而，与残疾学员合作增加了咨询、网络和意识的机会，许多人报告说他们能够毫无困难地建立合理的便利条件。调查结果表明，主管在培训中缺乏对残疾问题的认识。提供了建立残疾肯定环境的定义和建议。这些调查结果表明，呼吁主管采取行动，以提高他们在监督和培训中的能力和对残疾的认识。
