BC. D2 – Justify the support and adaptations provided for two individuals with different additional
needs to help them overcome challenge to daily living, with reference to statutory provision.
Both individuals in the two case studies have a disability that prevents or limits their ability to
undertake daily tasks and routines. Rebecca Brown's physical handicap restricts her movement and
mobility below her cervical spine, making it impossible for her to assist with daily activities such as
moving up and down the stairs or travelling to and from her apartment complex. She needs mobility
aids as a result of her mobility issue (limited movement). Because of her physical condition and
obstacle, she would require the intervention of an occupational therapist, who would examine her
specific needs in order to promote independence and propose and prescribe modifications such as a
stairlift. She may also require short-term or long-term assistance to ensure that her requirements
are addressed as she ages or her circumstances change. She needs assistance and modification
because she would be unable to perform and carry out fundamental daily activities if she did not
have them or if they were malfunctioning. Also, because she will need to adapt to this condition
because it is likely to be a lifelong condition, she will need assistance in facilitating a transfer to her
new life, and because she is not used to this, she will require support such as counselling, etc.
Rebecca could benefit from a wide range of assistance and modifications, including a wheelchair,
stair lift, mobility aids, and professional assistance such as physiotherapy. Ben has a Down syndrome
cognitive handicap with a learning age of eight, as well as type two diabetes. Ben need assistance in
many aspects of his daily life. He requires assistance and adaptations since he lacks the mental
aptitude and capability to deal with the issues that men face on a daily basis. He may require daily
living adaptations and communication assistance such as Makaton and assistive technology, for
example. He can also receive art and/or speech therapy. This will assist him in overcoming some of
his communication difficulties and allowing him to live more freely, which will make everyday life
easier for him.
Without aid, these people will be unable to manage daily life challenges because they lack the
mental and physical capability and capacity to carry out specified daily chores. As a result, these
hurdles will not be overcome without assistance, and the two individuals will have to put boundaries
and constraints on their daily routine. This will make them feel helpless, insufficient, and unworthy,
which may lead to their health and well-being deteriorating or worsening, such as the development
of mental health concerns such as depression. Ben and Rebecca will confront numerous obstacles as
a result of this, including the inability to provide the care they require for their special requirements.
Without regulatory provisions, Ben and Rebecca, for example, will be unable to access these services
and obtain the care they require for their special requirements. As a result, they will be unable to
deliver the necessary treatment. Supporting persons with special needs demands the use of
numerous helpful resources. Support workers must meet particular entry qualification and
preparation requirements for each specialisation.
The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) is a way of gathering information about a child's needs
and evaluating how those needs might be satisfied by the right support services. This may involve
occupational health, counselling, and physiotherapy, as well as travel, schooling, and other needs
help. The CAF is a voluntary process that requires informed agreement from the child and their
parents/caregivers as part of Every Child Matters agenda. The CAF is for children who require
assistance in one or more of the following areas: growth and development, additional educational
needs, family and environmental difficulties, and any needs special to parents/caregivers. After
obtaining information about a kid's needs and determining how those needs will be addressed by
sufficient social programmes, such as a statutory child care programme,
