Reasonable Adjustment
Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for candidates with a
disability - November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development Centre
Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning environment or making
changes to the training delivered to assist a candidate with a disability. A reasonable adjustment can
be as simple as changing classrooms to be closer to amenities or installing a particular type of
software on a computer for a person with vision impairment.
Why make a reasonable adjustment?
We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that candidates with a disability have:
▪ The same learning opportunities as candidates without a disability, and
▪ The same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a disability.
Reasonable adjustment applied to participation in teaching, learning and assessment activities can
include:
▪ Customising resources and assessment activities within the training package or accredited
course
▪ Modifying the presentation medium
▪ Candidate support
▪ Use of assistive/adaptive technologies
▪ Making information accessible both before enrolment and during the course
▪ Monitoring the adjustments to ensure candidates needs continue to be met
Assistive/Adaptive Technologies
Assistive/Adaptive technology means ‘software or hardware that has been specifically designed to
assist people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities’ (World Wide Web Consortium - W3C). It
includes screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software, alternative keyboards, devices for
grasping, visual alert systems, digital note-takers.
IMPORTANT:
Reasonable adjustment made for collecting candidate assessment evidence must not impact on
the standard expected by the workplace, as expressed by the relevant unit(s) of competency. For
example, if the assessment were gathering evidence of the candidate’s competency in writing,
allowing the candidate to complete the assessment verbally would not be a valid assessment
