An increasing number of individuals with disabilities are participating in athletics and physical activities. After a thorough review of literature there appears to be few if any studies that have examined the incorporation of disability into athletic training education. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study was to explore how professional level athletic training programs include disability content within the curriculum and clinical experiences of future professionals. The secondary purpose was to identify factors that enable or inhibit the inclusion of disability content in the athletic training curriculum as provided by directors of AT Programs. The study followed an explanatory sequential mixed methods design through use of an initial quantitative survey and a follow-up qualitative interview. All 418 directors of professional AT programs were invited to participate in an online survey, of which 54 responded to the survey and 7 participated in follow-up interviews. Barriers expressed by program directors included (a) time and space in the curriculum, (b) access to populations with disability, (c) content priority, and (d) defining disability content in terms of what an entry-level athletic trainer should be responsible for knowing. The transition to the professional level master's degree and infusing content throughout the curriculum were possible solutions. The researcher proposes (a) disability be included in materials and discussions of diversity and cultural competence, (b) compliance with legal obligations and professional ethics concerning disability be examined, and (c) materials, dialogue, and continuing education regarding disability become available to the athletic training community. Recommendation for the inclusion of medical content on disability is encouraged but less practical in the current athletic training education environment.
