QUESTION 2
Provide a brief explanation for the following disability models – Normalisation and Social Role Variation.

The development of services for individuals with learning disabilities and other groups of people within
human services, such as people with mental disorders and elderly people, have been significantly
impacted by normalisation and social role valorisation (SRV) since the 1970s. These concepts have
significantly contributed to the establishment of the community living movement for individuals with
learning impairments and the reform of institutional services in many different nations.

QUESTION 3

Ricky who has a mental disability said ‘People tend to see us as a danger, or burden in the community.
They always say that we’re better off in our own institution since we’re not really equal to everyone else and
that we can’t do or learn anything anyway.’

What would be the impact on Ricky’s quality of life?

Since Ricky is seen by the general public as a burden, neither Ricky's infirmity nor his understanding are
wanted by the general public.

QUESTION 4
Explain what ‘Active Support’ means to individuals with a disability.

654418314.DOCXV1.0 Page 7
In order to give someone with a handicap the proper level of assistance—that is, neither too much nor too
little—they need to be given active support. Where possible, Active Support encourages individuals with
disabilities to act independently rather than having a staff person act on their behalf.
Using the activities that must be done, like cleaning, shopping, work, or gardening, as well as those that are
available, like visiting friends or family, playing sport, or taking an adult education class, can help people
stay active throughout the day.

QUESTION 5
Explain how ‘Individual Support Packages’ as offered by the Department of Human Services in Victoria
support individuals with a disability.

A person with a disability can get financing through an individual support package to acquire supports that
will best help them fulfil their continuing needs for disability support and advance their goals.
A person can choose the supports that are most suited to their unique requirements and circumstances by
directing the identification and implementation of them through an individual support package.
It gives the individual the freedom to make choices about how to get the help they need to accomplish their
own objectives and lifestyle.

QUESTION 6
Explain the difference between a person-centred practice and a strengths-based practice.

Approach to social work that is strengths-based and emphasises forming connections with others and
expanding networks within the community (The Local Area Coordination Network, 2019). The strategy
strives to offer services that are established jointly by local communities and that are person-centered.
The individual is at the centre of all we do when we use person-centered practises. It acknowledges that
every patient is a special, complicated individual. Respect is shown for their wants, preferences, and the
information they bring to bear on their healthcare and medical requirements.

QUESTION 7
Provide three benefits of an organisation that is person-centred in their practices.

1. Having a reputation as a culture and business that thinks ahead

2. Increasing levels of stakeholder and client satisfaction

3. A decrease in complaints

QUESTION 8
Explain how the UNCRPD impacts human rights for individuals with a disability.

Tolerance for one's own inherent worth, for one's freedom to make decisions for oneself, and for one's own
independence from others. Non-discrimination. Participation and integration in society to the fullest extent
possible. Respect for variety and inclusion of people with disabilities as members of humankind. The United
Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities aims to advance respect for the inherent
dignity of all individuals with disabilities by promoting, defending, and ensuring their full and equal
enjoyment of all human rights and basic freedoms. It is a tool that aids governments and communities in
comprehending the reasons behind why and how the rights of persons with disabilities haven't been
realised. It also offers a framework that outlines the prerequisites for the realisation of entitlements.

654418314.DOCXV1.0 Page 8
QUESTION 9
What are the six main stages of lifespan development?

a) Middle age

b) Childhood

c) Early adulthood

d) Adolescence

e) Infancy

f) Older age

QUESTION 10
What challenges or barriers would an individual with a learning disability experience during their
adolescence? Provide three examples.

a) Trouble keeping friends

b) Difficulties finding work

c) Social stigma

QUESTION 11
What is meant by the ‘duty of care’ from the perspective of a disability worker?

The legal obligation to use reasonable care to prevent injury to others is known as the duty of care. You
must respond with reasonable caution if you discover a risk of harm that is fairly likely to occur. All
contemporary occupational health and safety (OHS)/workplace health and safety (WHS) programmes
share this idea.
According to the duty of care principle, you have a responsibility to refrain from doing anything that could
reasonably be expected to endanger or cause harm to other people. This requires you to foresee risks for
your clients and use caution to keep them safe.

QUESTION 12
Research a disability service provider in the community and explain how they support participation, diversity
and social inclusion within the community.

Five components of best practise for civic engagement and social inclusion are as follows:
1. A person-cantered strategy
2. Powerful reasoning
3. forming partnerships within the neighbourhood
4. Foster understanding;
5. Strengthen connections

654418314.DOCXV1.0 Page 9
QUESTION 13
What is AAC? How can AAC help individuals with a disability?

The term AAC refers to all non-verbal forms of communication. If they are having difficulty with their speech
or language, people of all ages can use AAC. To be augmentative in speech is to add to it. alternatives to
speaking should be used. AAC is used by some people all their lives. Some might only use AAC temporarily,
such as after surgery when they are unable to speak. AAC comes in many different forms. Options that are
low-tech and non-tech include things like
• facial expressions and hand motions,
• writing,
• drawing,
• pointing to the letters to spell words; and
• pointing to printed text, images, or photos.

QUESTION 14
Provide a brief explanation of The Inclusion and Professional Support Program (IPSP) in Australia. What
providers make up the IPSP?

The Australian Government's Child Care Services Support Program includes the Inclusion and Professional
Support Program (IPSP).
The IPSP aims to sustain and promote inclusive, high-quality early childhood education and care for all
children in settings that qualify.
It is essential to putting into practise and assisting with the National Quality Framework approved by the
Council of Australian Governments (COAG).

QUESTION 15
Provide three objectives of implementing a social inclusion program.

1. Establish a suitable action plan to inspire the populace

2. Determine the pursuits for which the individual has a passion

3. Recognize the abilities, assets, and strengths of the individual with a handicap and convey these to
others.

QUESTION 16
How does the National Disability Insurance Scheme support individuals with a disability?

The NDIS gives people access to help, support, and housing so they can live as independently as possible.
Additionally, it involves focused assistance for disabled individuals who need assistance with daily life
activities. The NDIS is designed to help persons whose capacity to participate in daily activities is
significantly and permanently impaired. It accomplishes this by determining what assistance for people
with disabilities are required to help them reach their own objectives.

QUESTION 17
Explain potential implications of community based aged care and disability services moving away from block
funding to an individualised unit funding package model.

654418314.DOCXV1.0 Page 10
Providers of aged care are paid by the government to provide that care. It achieves this through financial
support through elder care programmes, capital grants, and subsidies and supplements.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides the majority of support money on an individual
basis, enabling many people with disabilities and their families to exercise choice and control. The
following issues with individualised funding:
1. Group or shared support services
2. Crises or shifting support requirements
3. Complicated support combining several fields, such as justice and medicine
Services have come up with innovative methods for utilising and boosting their block money, such as mainly
depending on neighbourhood volunteers, collaborating with other community agencies, and securing minor
subsidies from local councils and other governmental organisations.

QUESTION 18
Why is it important to support dignity of risk for individuals with a disability?

Since it prioritises a person's capacity to make decisions for themselves, the dignity of risk is a crucial
component in caring for the elderly. People have a right to fail, and when that right is respected, they are
more likely to treat others with decency. Even when those choices potentially put them in danger, a person
has the right to make their own decisions.

QUESTION 19
Provide communication strategies for the following disabilities:

A person with hearing loss:


 Making use of nonverbal cues like visuals
 Lessen ambiance noise.
 Request repetitions
 Maintain eye contact.
 Talk slowly

2. Describe yourself.
3. Confirm that the person you are speaking to understands what you are saying.
4. Explain the circumstances.
5. Give assistance without imposing it.
6. Be particular.

sister who studies at TAFE. Amon has a moderate intellectual disability with high needs and requires
assistance for most activities of daily living. The family receives disability funding entitlements and has
been allocated a disability support worker. The support worker has set up a daily routine for Amon where
he is prompted to wake up, change, bathe and eat before starting his day. He is also provided transport to
places for appointments or for other trips out into town. The family do not have a big circle of friends or
social network, and since they are still relatively new to the country they find it challenging to integrate into
the culture. As a result, they are not very engaged with the local community.
The disability support worker has developed part of a community support plan based on Amon’s personal
social goals and interests.
Goals/strengths:
 I want to have more friends – Amon is friendly and social by nature
 I want to become a member of the local football club – Amon is good with kicking the footy
 I want to do more activities with others outside the house – Amon likes to be outdoors and learn new
things
Interests:
 Music and sports
 Learning new things
 Being around people
 Doing physical activities
 Playing in the park and with animals
 Eating sweets
 Going on trips
Resources/Aids/Devices:
 Hearing aid
 Visual cards/cues
 Walker
 Specialised transport
Challenges/Barriers:
Amon can become easily agitated if he does not understand a task or activity. He needs time to process
instructions and does not communicate verbally with others well. He can also become tired or bored very
quickly. Due to the unfamiliarity of local services his family can be hesitant or resistant to participating in
new ideas or support strategies with Amon.

Create a community support strategy for Amon using the provided template and the information at your
disposal.
The following details ought to be included in the plan:
Goals and aims of Amon
Support technique
Community initiatives/programs
Resources necessary
Support group
Challenges/barriers

QUESTIONS (INDIVIDUAL TASK)
1. What are three risks of Amon joining the footy program? What could be done to help?

 Problems with hearing;


 Problems with walking;
 Problems with developing relationships
Amon's impairment makes it necessary to speak with the coach and other group members and inform
them of his condition, attitude, and behaviour so that everyone feels at ease and refrains from bullying and
ridiculing.

2. Provide examples of five questions you might ask when discussing support strategies with Amon’s family
or carer?

1. How Amon will interact with the other members


2. Activities that he enjoys and is motivating to him.
3. Likes and dislikes

team, would be needed as further assistance during the discussion and formulation of appropriate support
solutions. This is crucial since it will assist identify the level of football team that Amon can join depending
on the compatibility of his abilities.

Explain your duty of care when developing support strategies for people with a disability.

The act of supporting another disabled person requires a duty of care. As a disability support professional, it
is my responsibility to look out for the disabled person, make sure he is aware of all the options accessible
to him, and make sure those options are secure for the client.

Barriers/challenges to participation in community programs

Because some outdoor activities and community events depend entirely on the weather, Amon's family is
reluctant to support Amon participating in them. In some of the classes, he did not get along well with
other students, and as a result, he felt angry and resisted going back to the programme. He wished he
could have attended some of the more expensive events, but he was unable to.
Strategies to overcome barriers/challenges

654418314.DOCXV1.0 Page 26
Amon's mother will undergo counselling sessions to ensure she has the necessary knowledge about
the outdoor programmes and that a complete risk assessment is carried out prior to participation. It
should be discussed how the programme would help Amon from a social standpoint. His mother would
occasionally be able to participate in some of the outdoor activities, easing her concerns even further.

Sports that rely on good weather were to be replaced with indoor alternatives, such as indoor soccer. He
could continue to exercise without having to give up being outside.

selected in line with hispersonal plan and same to be shared with members of his support team.
Objectives and support strategies were developed in line with his goals and contact was made with the
community service providers to start the membership process.

Process and review strategy

changes or through direct interview with him along with program managers and other support
members.

For example, conducting research of available services, programs, activities and events held within the community that are suitable to the
individual’s interests and abilities. This includes communicating with services to assess suitability.

 Identify participation barriers and develop strategies to mitigate challenges.


For example, collaborating with the client to ascertain potential challenges, barriers or limitations they may face in participating in the
community events or activities. Develop strategies for each barrier, challenge or limitation identified.

 Adhere to workplace policies and protocols.


For example, always following workplace process and procedures when accessing and identifying resources.
