Using this information and the information gathered from the workshops and learning materials, work through the questions and statements in the Report document. The client's profile and plan are based on several clients of Victorian disability service providers. Your teacher will facilitate a group discussion during a workshop to discuss the client, providing individualised person-centred support and action to empower the client.
Task 2: Empowering and providing individualised support to clients
For this assessment task, you will develop a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate your ability to facilitate the empowerment of people with disability and to provide individualised, rights-based support using a person-centred approach. You will identify three different clients who you are currently or have recently provided support. You will provide evidence of how you have provided support.
Task 3: Direct observation- Providing support to clients
