The Disability Support Worker 4th Edition by Geoff Arnott
Quick Navigation

Overview

Disability Support Worker helps students learn how to adopt a person-centred approach. It includes information about the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), mental health and medications administration. This bestselling text contains examples and activities that link theory to the workplace, as well as revision questions and extension activities to assist teachers with lesson planning and homework delivery.

The text includes Industry Insights that provide your students with real-world examples, and aligns with packaging rules for CHC43121.

The text is in Parts and a significant theme in Part 1 is the importance of an individualised support plan that responds to person-centred needs based on the social model of disability. This is reflected by managing legal and ethical compliance especially regarding duty of care and dignity of risk. It is important that trainees understand the necessity of adhering to the legal and ethical framework that applies to their scope of practice.

Instructor resources to assist with lesson planning and delivery include: solutions manual, mapping grid and additional chapters, PowerPoints, Test Bank, artwork, case database and documentation PDFs.
