Topic description
The practicum specialisations provide students with choice to apply in practice a specialist area of study within a more focussed organisational setting. A practicum specialisation should be linked to in-depth study into a specialist area or issue and can be linked to independent study.
Educational aims
The aim of this topic is to further enhance professional skills through: opportunities to design, implement and evaluate an intervention, service model or management system designed to improve the quality of life of individuals living with disability; the facilitation of critical thinking and debate in relation to theory and practice in disability service provision; opportunities for self-reflection about personal performance.
Expected learning outcomes
On completion of this topic, students will be expected to be able to:
- Critically evaluate research and practice in relation to individuals with specific support needs
- Recognise and discuss best practice in relation to individuals with specific support needs around management of disability and other relevant human service organisations
- Integrate research and practice in designing, implementing and evaluating a support program for an individual or small group of people with specific support needs
