Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply assessment techniques, adaptive equipment use, and daily living activity support strategies in simulated or real-life settings. These hands-on experiences ensure competence in promoting independence and safety for clients with disabilities or chronic conditions.

Practical Activities

• Functional Assessment Simulation — Learners practice conducting a functional assessment using the Barthel Index on a volunteer actor, identifying needs and documenting findings. (4h)
• Adaptive Equipment and Transfer Techniques — Learners use adaptive equipment (e.g., grab bars, dressing aids) and practice safe transfer techniques (e.g., sliding board, stand pivot) on a mannequin or volunteer. (5h)
• Home Modification and Safety Planning — Learners conduct a home safety assessment in a simulated environment and recommend modifications to reduce fall risks and improve accessibility. (4h)
• Communication and Psychosocial Support Role-Play — Learners role-play scenarios involving clients with communication or cognitive impairments, practicing AAC use and providing psychosocial support. (3h)
• Comprehensive Care Plan Development — Learners integrate assessment findings, goals, and interventions into a comprehensive care plan for a case study client. (2h)

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.
