Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply inclusive facilitation techniques in a controlled environment. Through role-play, simulation, and peer feedback, participants develop confidence in adapting training materials and managing diverse learning needs.

Practical Activities

• Role-play: Reasonable Accommodation Interview — Learners pair up to conduct a mock interactive process where one plays a person with a disability requesting accommodation and the other plays the facilitator. They practice questioning, documentation, and proposing accommodations. (4h)
• Simulation: Adapting a Training Session — In small groups, learners take a standard training module and redesign it using Universal Design for Learning principles. They present a 15-minute adapted segment to peers, incorporating accessible materials and inclusive delivery. (4h)
• Case Study: Workplace Inclusion Challenge — Groups analyse a complex workplace scenario involving multiple disabilities and conflicting accommodation needs. They develop a comprehensive inclusion plan, including policy recommendations, and present it to the class for discussion. (4h)
• Practicum: Facilitate an Inclusive Session — Each learner facilitates a 20-minute segment of a training topic (e.g., disability etiquette) while peers simulate diverse needs (e.g., visual impairment, ADHD, mobility aid). Observers provide structured feedback using a checklist. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
