Uphold Regulatory Responsibilities to Promote a Safe and Supportive Environment for Pregnant and Parenting Students and Employees
Gain a comprehensive understanding of the Title IX regulatory requirements and ATIXA’s recommended best practices for accommodating pregnant students, employees, and individuals with pregnancy-related conditions.
Participants will define pregnancy and related conditions, including non-medical childcare needs, lactation, fertility treatments/IVF, adoption, abortion, and miscarriage.
The workshop will cover reasonable accommodations versus appropriate adjustments, how to support pregnant student-athletes and non-birthing parents, and case studies designed to enhance participants’ knowledge and confidence.
Pre-tests, Post-test, and Verification
ATIXA offers optional pre- and post-tests. Participants should complete the pre-test independently, in a closed-book format, before reviewing course materials. It establishes a baseline for comparison with the post-test and does not affect certification status.
Completing the course grants Certification. Passing the post-test provides an opportunity to earn Verification, which demonstrates comprehension of the material beyond participation alone.
Pre-tests are available from the time the event lobby opens until training begins. Post-tests are open-book, may be retaken until a passing score is achieved, and remain accessible for 90 days after the training. ATIXA staff members cannot reopen tests once the access period has expired.
Implement institutional policies to manage academic incompletes, pass/fails, leaves of absence, financial aid, internships, externships, excused absences, cohort/lockstep programs, co-ops, practicums, and out-of-class expectations for individuals who are pregnant or experiencing pregnancy-related conditions.
