Description
This course provides the opportunity for students to prepare for a career in disability or human service management. It also provides a pathway to school teaching qualifications and special education.
Contemporary understanding of disability acknowledges the rights of people with a disability to be full and participating members of society. Many people with a disability, particularly those with learning and intellectual disabilities require either episodic or lifelong supports to take their rightful place in society. The course aims to develop graduates skills to empower people with disabilities through inclusive education and development supports.
The course consists of units that encompass a holistic view of disability and the social structures that influence learning and development for people with a disability. This includes theoretical frameworks for understanding disability, social justice and empowerment, advocacy, influence of disability on learning, social dynamics and positive behaviour support.
Students will have the opportunity to tailor the course to their particular interest areas through the selection of topics of interest in assessment tasks, fieldwork components and the selection of specialisation units.
The majority of assessments are assignment or project-based which facilitates the development of interest areas and the integration of practice and theory components
