ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LEARNER
This booklet contains assessment questions and activities which allow you to provide evidence toward gaining
this qualification. Before you complete this assessment you should review the information in your e-book learner
guide.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
 Read more than just the learner guide – you can use books, journal articles, websites (not Wikipedia)
 Write in your own words – think about what you have read and then use your words to explain what you
have learned.
 Explain where your information comes from (referencing) – this adds strength to you work and allows
your trainer to see where you have found your information.
 Never copy and paste – this is not your own work and is a serious form of cheating called plagiarism.
 If you are unsure what the question means, ask your trainer.
ASSESSMENT

assessment of competence, which includes this theory assessment and further performance evidence, for

performance standards.
When you have finished ALL the assessment tasks, complete the form on the front of the booklet and then

Answer all questions
1. Explain how duty of care relates to participating to the
assessment of a person with a disability.
(minimum 50 words)
Duty of care is a legal requirement that places responsible parties are obligated by the law to take care or
responsibility of persons with disability in foreseeable danger, harm or injury. The duty of care bases on the
reasonability of ones actions that would impact someone else’s physical being. One needs to be conscious about
the care and support they are providing to the individuals with disability.
Assessors comment:
2. What do you understand by the concept of interdependence and independence in
relation to a person with a disability? Illustrate your answer with one example.
(minimum 50 words)
Interdependence is a universal phenomenon for all human beings. Regardless of one’s physical or mental status,
human beings exist in interdependent relationships. For example, people living with disabilities could be gifted in
a certain area that would help people who have no disability – yet they depend of the people without disability to
facilitate some of their needs before leveraging their talents. Independence is the empowerment of people with
disability to minimize their dependence on other people of solvable problems like financial freedom.

4. How would you record observations objectively?
(minimum 50 words)
Recording observations objectively requires the observer to minimize their description to the specific behaviours
that can been observed. The record should only include what can be heard or seen. The behaviours of the
specimen under study should be described fully to allow the readers to see and feel what the observer saw.
