Question:
For this task, you are required to follow up and review Donny's participation post-commencement. You will seek to review the progress of implemented strategies and identify any further barriers and gaps in support to discuss these with your supervisor.
This will be completed as a role play and you will require a volunteer to play the role of Donny and to submit a video recording.
To complete the role play, follow the 3 steps below:
1. Prepare for role play:
Read the below scenario.
Scenario
Donny (continued)
Donny has been attending the organisation for work as arranged, going there three half days a week for the last fortnight. He advised you, 'It's been wonderful getting out of the house and into the community and meeting new people'. Donny mentioned to you that there are a couple of things to go over and discuss when you have time. To this, you have arranged a meeting with Donny and your supervisor, Joyce Kiehne. This time will be used as your first review meeting, so you will be looking to see what else can be implemented or adjusted to support Donny.
