INTRODUCTION:

Welcome to the Coordinate Individual Support Plans for VET Learners with Disability course. This course only includes a challenge assessment designed to assess your knowledge and skills required to demonstrate competence in identifying and coordinating learning support processes and reasonable adjustments for learners with disability, applying person-centred consultation to determine learning and assessment support needs, documenting individual support plans, and implementing and reviewing supports in a way that maintains learner dignity, confidentiality, and participation in training and assessment.

Coordinating individual support plans for VET learners with disability involves systematically confirming what learning supports and reasonable adjustments are available within an organisation and then working with learners to establish what supports are needed for meaningful participation. This work requires an informed understanding of barriers to learning, the practical application of inclusive approaches, and the ability to coordinate resources and referrals in line with organisational processes. It is important because learners may be capable of meeting training outcomes when supports are appropriately planned and implemented, but may face unnecessary exclusion when barriers are not identified, reasonable adjustments are not applied, or confidentiality and dignity are not upheld during support planning and delivery.

The course assessment focuses on your ability to identify and confirm available learning support processes and reasonable adjustments, communicate their purpose and benefits to learners, and apply a person-centred approach to determine goals, capabilities, preferences, and learning priorities. You will be required to demonstrate how you discuss and agree preferred learning options in line with realistic participation expectations, determine learning and assessment support needs, and translate those agreements into a documented support plan that can be implemented and reviewed effectively across training and assessment contexts.

This assessment will confirm your understanding of how to document individual support plans that include agreed learning opportunities, strategies, supports, resources, and reasonable adjustments, and how to analyse potential and actual barriers to learning for different types of disability, including barriers created by learning structures and environments. It will also assess your ability to apply social and medical models of disability to inform planning decisions and inclusive practice, ensuring that support planning is based on both functional needs and the removal of environmental or systemic barriers that limit participation.

You will also be assessed on your capability to identify and source resources required to implement the support plan within your role scope, including assistive technologies, equipment, and adapted learning resources, and to recognise when required resources and specialist services fall outside your scope and must be accessed through organisational referral pathways. This includes implementing agreed supports and reasonable adjustments during learning and assessment in line with legislative and regulatory requirements and current standards, applying communication strategies appropriate to learner needs including augmentative and alternative communication methods, and consistently using inclusive language and person-first expressions. The assessment will also examine your ability to apply organisational protocols for disclosure, information sharing, confidentiality and privacy, address implementation issues within scope, escalate issues according to organisational and WHS requirements, and monitor, evaluate, and revise support plans through consultation to ensure ongoing effectiveness for learning and assessment participation.

By successfully completing this course assessment, you will have demonstrated that you can identify and communicate available learning supports and reasonable adjustments, apply person-centred consultation to determine learner needs and preferred options, analyse barriers and apply appropriate disability models to inform planning, document and coordinate individual support plans, source and refer resources appropriately, implement supports in training and assessment while maintaining confidentiality and dignity, manage and escalate implementation issues in line with organisational and WHS requirements, and review and revise plans based on consultation and evidence of participation and effectiveness—confirming your readiness to coordinate individual support plans for VET learners with disability in a compliant and inclusive manner.
