Content
An understanding of the theory and practice of inclusive and participatory individualised planning approaches with people with disabilities is developed in this unit. Key components underpinning effective planning with people with disabilities are presented including understanding complex communication needs, supported decision making, self-determination and knowledge of advocacy and self-advocacy. Students develop knowledge and skills in person centred and family centred planning approaches.
