Johnny has been learning how to use the internet. Today he has suddenly realised that he can access pictures of trains (he is absolutely obsessed with trains). On his own he manages to search for the Flying Scotsman and find a picture of it. He has a model of the Flying Scotsman in his bedroom. He is very excited that he has managed to search for this on his own – this opens up a whole new world of trains for him. He turns with excitement to Jemma who is working with him today. She is busy chatting to her colleague about what she did at the weekend. When Johnny yells to get her attention she tells him to talk quietly. When she sees the Flying Scotsman she says “That’s nice Johnny” and goes back to chatting with her friend. Johnny is a bit disappointed with her response – perhaps she doesn’t like trains.

ASSESSMENT TASK 2: CASE STUDY

Task Summary:This task requires you to read through a case study and then answer the questions that follow.

What do I need in order to complete this assessment?

Access to textbooks and other learning materials

Access to a computer and the Internet (if you prefer to type your responses).

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 marks any of your answers as incorrect, they will talk to you about resubmission. You will need to do one of the following:

Answer the questions that were incorrect in writing.

Answer the questions that were incorrect verbally.

Instructions:

Read the following case study and provide answers to the corresponding questions.

Case Study: Loretta

Loretta is a 40-year-old female who experiences disability due to an acquired brain injury she sustained from a motor vehicle accident. Loretta uses a wheelchair, lives with her parents and is taken to a day centre on a regular basis to participate in social activities with staff support.

Loretta enjoys being involved with artwork such as painting as well as playing games with others. Some of her favourite games include playing cards and Connect 4. She gets along well with other clients at the day centre and looks forward to her day trips in particular riding in the car to and from the centre.

Due to Loretta’s physical disability she has limited range of independent movement. She requires assistance with a sling and hoist when being physically transferred. Although she lacks the arm strength to help with mobility, Loretta has some range of movement in the thumb and forefinger of her right hand. Sometimes she can grasp light objects or material like a pen or light paintbrush using these fingers although it is quite challenging. When able to grasp onto a light object for a short period of time, Loretta gets excited and appears happy. When this happens she will often attempt to pick up and hold the item repeatedly.

Being able to develop this fine motor skill would be beneficial in helping her with completing small tasks and activities more independently both at home and at the day centre.

When she observes a demonstration on how to complete a task, she is often successful in replicating the steps required to complete the task. Slow movements and repetition seem to work well.

What is Loretta’s skills development needs and goal?

Describe the required skill she will need to achieve this goal.

What person-centred strategies could be implemented to help develop this skill? Provide three examples.

1.
2.
3.

For one of the strategies you have suggested in the previous questions, provide a step-by-step breakdown of how you would implement the task over time. Include when you might withdraw certain steps.

Describe the communication strategy you would use with Loretta when implementing this strategy.

How would you review and measure the success of this strategy?

What support would you require to implement all three strategies?

What other learning activities could you focus on developing with other personnel?

What do I need to hand in for this task?	Have I completed this?
