This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to plan, safely conduct, and evaluate programs for people with a disability including both frail and moderately active participants.
This unit applies to any worker responsible for developing programs for clients with disabilities. Work is undertaken according to relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures.
No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
