Learner Activities
For this assessment you will need to attempt the following and submit in a professional, word processed, format.
Activity 1
For this task you are required to produce a poster or flyer appropriate for display in a community service facility which identifies at least four different opportunities for community participation and social inclusion for people with disabilities, in your local area.
For each of the opportunities you have identified for community participation, describe the interests, abilities and requirements that are associated with the activities, as well as any other information that interested clients would like to know.
Also note if there are any cultural and religious needs that may impact on participating in the opportunity.
a. Identify four barriers you may come across for each opportunity identified. Detail a strategy to address and monitor the identified barriers.
Four possible barriers to the opportunities identified are related to the social, economic, cultural and religious criteria of inclusion of people with disabilities. At first, for social inclusion, disabled people anticipate proper community participation to build positive and strong confidence in their personality. A holistic approach is required in order to bring them to the mainstream community participation at all levels.
The economic inclusion has the barrier of giving equal opportunities to work for people with disabilities. In fact, it is more like giving them proper access to work which they actually do not get. The gaps exist in terms of creating specific jobs and places in the organizational structure that are best suitable for the people with disabilities. For cultural assistance, the barriers remain implied within the understanding of the common people.
A basic assumption of so called ‘weakness’ is framed in the minds of people about disabled people which needs to be eliminated. There can be as many alternatives to this issue, which can be extended to the religious, are as well. Cultural and religious barriers, in this context, are more like interconnected. In the religious perceptions of people, equality of practices stand as one of the barriers that people with disabilities should try to overpower.
Activity 2
Identify a client you currently support who has complex needs. If you do not currently support clients, create a fictional character for this activity. Give a brief description of your client including:
Age
Abilities
Interests
Support needs
Preferences
Behaviour of concern (if any)
Cultural/religious affiliation
Description of Client:
The client selected for this case study is Brian, who is a 45 years old. He is Catholic by religion and divorcee, living in the suburbs of NSW. Brian is suffering from dementia and autism for the past twenty years. When he was born, his mother had initial symptoms of dementia that affected the upbringing of Brian. Because of having an abusive and disturbed childhood period, he had to go through proper counselling about the development of depressive attitude and suicidal tendency.
His father was an alcoholic who left the family when Brian was twelve years of age. Ultimately, he began helping his mother in the self-owned departmental centre. Brian married to Martha at the age of twenty five and over the course of five years, he became father of two children, Zeus as son and Lucy as daughter.
However, his married life did not go well due to the consistent impacts of early childhood abuses and symptoms if dementia began appearing when he was twenty-five, at the time when he got married to Martha. In the five years of marriage, he suffered from extreme dementia attacks and even, autistic behavioural approaches made it hard for his family to adjust with his reactions.
Consequently, he got divorced only after five years of marriage and since then, Brian is single; his mother is dead and he thoroughly dependent over the support programs conducted in the local area to have his daily needs well managed. He is currently assigned to a counselling manager who takes care of his home and business and at the same time, she gives him proper medication and support to deal with his issues.
Brian’s biggest ability is to paint; he is a fine artist who use paints and does vibrant colouring of pictures. His artistic ability is also one of the major interests, which he has developed over the past five years. Suffering from dementia and autism at the same time was not easy at various phases of life. However, to cover up his disability, Brian began painting and it has given some meaning to his life so far.
He is now one of the most appreciated painters in the local community, which functions like a catalyst to community support. Brian needs to have support from the...
