ASSESSMENT TASK 2: PROJECT

Task Summary:

You are required to develop a support plan for a client and answer a set of questions.

What do I need in order to complete this assessment?

Support plan template (provided)

Scenario (provided).

When do I do this task?

You will do this task in your own time

Write in the due date as advised by your assessor:

what do I need to do if I get something wrong?

If your assessor identifies that any part of the templates is incorrect or has insufficient detail, they will give you feedback and you will need to fix the parts that are incorrect or lacking detail and resubmit.

Instructions:

Develop a community support plan

Review the scenario below and complete the corresponding task.

 

Amon who is 15, moved to Australia from Ethiopia with his mum who is a full time factory worker and older 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.

Using the template provided and the information that is available to you, develop a community support plan for Amon.

The plan should contain the following information:

Amon’s goals and objectives

Support strategy

Community programs/activities

Resources required

Support team

Challenges/barriers

Strategies to overcome these barriers

Review timeframe.

After you have developed your plan, provide answers to the questions that follow. You must remember to submit your plan and answers to your assessor when you have completed this task.

 

 

COMMUNITY SUPPORT PLAN
Goals Support strategy Community programs/ activities Support team
Resources/Aids/Equipment
 

 

 

Questions (Individual task)

What are three risks of Amon joining the footy program? What could be done to help?

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

 

 

Provide an example of when you would require additional assistance or expertise outside of your role when developing support strategies for Amon.

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

Provide suitable community services, programs or activities as options to the individual, their family, and/or carer.

Follow workplace protocols and guidelines when arranging the meeting.

Discuss any challenges or barriers the individual might experience for each program or activity suggested. You should also determine solutions to these challenges.

Following this observation your assessor will also ask you some verbal questions.

Adhere to workplace policies and protocols.

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