Question 5 (5 marks).

Describe in detail one communication or inclusion right Leo has at the nursing home, with reference to relevant legislation or policies. (See rubric for detailed marking criteria).

Question 6 (5 marks).

Describe in detail one strategy that Leo could be supported to request, to optimise his communication access as a nursing home resident. This strategy could involve changes to the communication environment (e.g. setting, resources, services, nursing home policies) or Leo’s communication partners (e.g. care workers and other staff). (See rubric for detailed marking criteria).

Question 7 (5 marks).

Describe in detail one AAC resource that you could develop or recommend for Leo, to help him express his needs and preferences or build social relationships. Explain how this resource could be used at the nursing home. (See rubric for detailed marking criteria).

Part B: Accessible Information Resource

Part B contains two components: an accessible resource, and a justification for the design of this resource.

Accessible Resource (10 marks)

Produce an accessible information resource for Leo, to explain ONE of the following:

1. A communication or inclusion right he has at the nursing home, and the relevant legislation or policies supporting this right (you can use the same content as in question 5 above).

2. A communication access strategy that Leo could ask the nursing home staff to implement (you can use the same content as in question 6 above), OR

3. Information about the latest recreation program on offer at the nursing home (you can make this up!).

This resource can be presented either as a video, OR as an Easy English written document.  

You will not be marked on the content of your resource, but on its accessibility for Leo. Remember to consider his impairment, environmental and personal factors in designing this resource. Please see the rubric for more detailed marking criteria at each grade level.

Resource Justification (10 marks)

Identify at least one impairment factor (body structure or function) and at least one personal or environmental factor that could impact Leo’s access to information as a nursing home resident. Explain how you have addressed these factors in your resource, and justify your choices with reference to relevant evidence.

Please see the rubric for more detailed marking criteria at each grade level.
