Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions provide hands-on experience in assessing, teaching, and adapting daily living skills for children with disabilities. Learners will practice using assessment tools, implementing teaching strategies, and adapting environments under supervision.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Functional Assessment and Goal Setting — Learners conduct a simulated functional assessment of daily living skills using checklists and observation, then write SMART goals. (4h)
• Practical 2: Teaching Self-Care Skills with Adaptive Equipment — Learners practice teaching dressing, feeding, and toileting using adaptive equipment and prompting hierarchies on mannequins or role-play. (5h)
• Practical 3: Communication and Social Skills Intervention — Learners practice using AAC devices and social stories to teach communication and social interaction in small groups. (4h)
• Practical 4: Safe Transfer, Positioning, and Environmental Adaptation — Learners practice safe manual handling, positioning in wheelchairs, and environmental modifications in a simulated setting. (5h)

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%
Final Total	—	100%

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