Assessment training handout.

Assessment training.

Due to the cuts I guess there doesn’t seem to be a lot of assessments these days but all the same you never know what the service you could work for will allow. These assessment are good to be able to assess peoples’ needs mainly this day and age where we get a mixer of people who disabilities and health problems and those who haven’t.

In the case of the benefit system being so high these days this is where these assessments are needed.

When it comes to the benefit forms a lot of people with disabilities and health problems don’t want find the benefit forms easy to read and understand. The same goes for the benefits letters when they are so many pages long. This assessment training could help you to support people who go through the benefit cuts or and people who have their benefits changed, as you get to know different people with disabilities and health problems it help you support their proof to the needs they have for support for possibly their benefits or and even in the workplace.

There’s no saying you will find yourself doing this job but at least you have the skill if it is needed. In the past a lot of places like care homes and such professions as Support workers and Social services have given out these assessment but not necessary to the way people with disabilities and health problems understand. I guess now these assessments are few and far between due to the cuts. Whether you have a need to this training or not maybe you could be interested in an example of what could be an accessible assessment for if not all but most people with disabilities and health problems to understand? I have college tonight so I will add pictures to the example of the easy read assessment sheet tomorrow. This could come in handy for your workplaces possibly.

Task 1

May be you can finish off this easy read accessible by doing an easy ready assessment sheet on personal care such as getting someone out of bed, washing, bathing, showering, shaving and etc.

Task 2

Make notes to why a person may find certain skills hard for example someone may be able to use a kettle better than a drinks machine or the other way round depending how their disabilities and health problems affect them.

Task 3

May be you could be looking at travelling training setting up easy read or and bullet point 123, ABC travelling training program-mes. Such as directions where to get a train, bus, tram and etc different people find it easy to travel different ways.
