This assignment presents a student's response to a scenario involving a young man named Tom who has spinal injuries and requires disability support. The student, in the role of a Disability Support Worker, analyzes initial case notes, including Tom's medical history, living situation, and personal goals. The task requires the student to develop communication strategies to engage Tom and his mother, create an initial support plan based on Tom's needs and preferences, and adapt the plan based on progress information. The assessment evaluates the student's ability to apply person-centered care principles, identify barriers to achieving goals, and suggest additional strategies to help Tom achieve his goals, demonstrating an understanding of legal and ethical considerations, and relevant services in the community. The assignment also includes references to communication strategies used in the case study.
