In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.

This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard.

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

The qualifying learner achieving this unit standard in combination with context expertise standard(s) will be able to implement strategies to maximise the inclusion of persons with disabilities in a sport.

In addition the learner will be well-positioned to extend their learning and practice to other areas where strategies to include persons with disabilities is a priority, or to strive toward unit standards and practice at higher levels.

Competent qualifying learners will be able to find practical ways to support the inclusion of persons with various disabilities into sport, thus improving the delivery of more democratic and socially responsible sport programmes in general.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

It is assumed that a learner attempting this unit standard will show competence in communication and numeracy equivalent to NQF level 5.

UNIT STANDARD RANGE

Guides to the scope and complexity of the specific outcomes and essential embedded knowledge are provided in examples for each outcome. These are prefaced by "for example" since they are neither comprehensive nor necessarily appropriate to all contexts. Alternatives must, however, be comparable in scope and complexity. These are intended only as a general guide to the scope and complexity of what is required.

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Become familiar with the variety of conditions associated with disabilities.

OUTCOME NOTES

Become familiar with the variety of conditions associated with disabilities and the general guidelines for inclusion in sport, recreation or fitness activities.

Describe methods of communication with performers with sensory impairments, e.g. visual impairments and deaf as well as performers with intellectual impairments.

Describe methods for assisting performers with ambulatory problems or who use wheelchairs to gain access to sport, recreation and fitness facilities and transportation, etc.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

When conducting assessments, assessors must ensure that they are familiar with the full text of the Unit Standards being assessed.
They must ensure that the assessment covers the specific outcomes, critical cross-field outcomes and essential embedded knowledge.
As each situation is different, it will be necessary to develop assessment activities and tools that are appropriate to the contexts in which practitioners are working. These activities and tools may include self-assessment, peer assessment, formative and summative assessment.
The specific outcomes and essential embedded knowledge must be assessed in relation to each other. If a practitioner is able to explain the essential embedded knowledge but is unable to perform the specific outcomes, they should not be assessed as competent. Similarly, if a practitioner is able to perform the specific outcomes but is unable to explain or justify their performance in terms of the essential embedded knowledge, they should not be assessed as competent.
Assessing the following will ensure the specific outcomes; essential embedded knowledge and critical cross-field outcomes are assessed:

Demonstrated ability to make DECISIONS about practice and to ACT accordingly:
1. The full inclusion of persons with disabilities in physical activity sessions is achieved.
2. A "parallel programme" for persons with disabilities is provided when appropriate.
3. Conditioning programmes are implemented to improve the sport-specific or health-related fitness of persons with disabilities.

Demonstrated ability to learn from our actions and to ADAPT PERFORMANCE:
4. The learning environment is adapted when needed to maximise the participation of persons with disabilities.
5. Skill techniques are adapted when needed to maximise the performance of persons with disabilities.
6. Equipment is adapted when needed to maximise the performance of persons with disabilities.
4. Disabilities.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Assessment should include practical demonstration of competence, either in the workplace or through work-realistic, out-of-classroom simulation.
A range of assessment methods should be used, including:
Direct observation - watch the practitioner carry out the task or produce a desired outcome during the course of his or her normal work under normal workplace conditions.
Product sample - examine the outcomes previously produced by the practitioner.
Simulation of a specific task - set a specific task for the practitioner to demonstrate in a simulated environment.
Questioning (verbal or written) - ask relevant questions linked to the unit standard.
Testimony - collects a portfolio of evidence from suitable people, e.g. report from a third party.

Integrated Assessment
It may be more effective and efficient to assess a number of unit standards together thus reducing the overall number of assessment 'events'.

Consider a complete activity in the workplace (the 'whole of work' approach) and see which unit standards relate to this activity.

Work out how practitioners could collect evidence on a number of unit standards at the same time covering all the critical aspects of the standards.

Ensure that commonalities that exist between a number of unit standards that are captured in a way that makes sense for assessment.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2

Examine the principle of inclusion to determine the types of participation.

OUTCOME NOTES
