Unit 12- Supporting Individuals with Additional Needs.
Name: Christa Blessing OWUSU
Subject: BTEC Level 3 Health and Social Care Extended Diploma
Deadline: Tuesday 8th October 2019
This report is going to assess the importance of supporting individuals with additional needs.
All societies, which include adults and children who require supplementary support, to deal
with the daily challenges, which are part of their regular lives. Some of these challenges are
not from an impairment but from the reaction of society to adults and children who are
differently abled. I am going to be examining reasons in which individuals may experience
additional needs, also inquiring into how to overcome the challenges of daily living faced by
people with additional needs. Lastly, I am going to investigate current practice concerning
provision for individuals with additional needs. With the points that had been made above, I
am going to be referring to two case studies of Rebecca Brown; an 8-year-old wheelchair
user and Ben Grace a 52-year-old with down’s syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
Learning disabilities are separated into different ranges such as mild, moderate, severe and
profound.
Mild learning disabilities are reflected when an individual is competent to talk but maybe
not recognise or be able to clarify new information simply. Most mild learning disabilities go
undiagnosed, as they are manageable to the individual. An example would be that the
individual would need more time to fully understand complex ideas such as reading big
passages of writing or text. This links to the case study of Rebecca as she has been in a car
accident and even though her body is affected, she may have had some impact on her head.
Moderate learning disability is also reflective when individuals find daily living activities
such as putting on their clothes by themselves, more complex and they may have only basic
language skills to explain how they are feeling or what they want such as “I’m sad” or “I
want to watch T.V”.
Severe and profound learning disabilities are considered when an individual may have only
simple language skills and will perhaps communicate through signals moderately than
words. These individuals also will need a large amount of support and they may have
multiple disabilities, which can include vision and hearing impairment, movement as well as
other tasks such as epilepsy and autism. Most people with severe and profound need
support with mobility and many have complex health needs requiring extensive support.
This links to the case study of Ben as he has type 2 diabetes and Down’s syndrome. He also
has the learning age of an 8-year-old even though he is a 52-year-old man. He needs help
daily and shows incapability of doing things but his key workers motivate and escort him
when doing normal things such as shopping and he enjoys doing it.
