This is Unit 12 Task 1, including Learning outcome A. Distinction.
Unit 12: supporting individuals with additional needs
In this Unit I will be talking about supporting individual and learning outcome A. This is about
diagnosing individuals, different learning needs, physical and emotional/ social needs. I will be
linking two case studies to each section.
A1: diagnosing or determining additional needs
Learning disabilities can be determined by mild, moderate, severe or profound disability.
Mild learning disabilities are an individual can talk but not understand or explain fully. An example of
this an individual is told an information but they cannot understand what it means. Moderate
learning disabilities are where individual find basic daily living activities hard and have basic language
to explain. Severe and profound learning disabilities are limited amount of language skills or could
use gestures as communication, these individual needs a high level of support.
Diagnosis procedures used to diagnosis a disability
This is used to determined what disability you may have by looking at your systems or behaviour. An
assessment is used for knowing what support the individual needs, this assessment could include:
concerns, experience of education or life events, physical examination and medical history.
Diagnosis tools are used to help diagnosis a disability. Dyslexia is diagnosis by an assessment
whether in school or specialised professional. The assessment cover literacy, numbery, memory or
organisation skills as these are all signs of dyslexia. The assessment will look at their health, how
they perform certain tasks and what you think needs to change (NHS dyslexia 2018). ADHD is noticed
by parents or teachers; this assessment is called A Child Behaviour Checklist where they confirm a
diagnosis. They will be done by a parent or teacher which they tick off symptoms off the checklist
then transferred to a specialist for further assessments. The specialist will run through a physical
examination and an interview to get to a diagnosis (NHS ADHD diagnosis May 2018). Dyspraxia is
assessed by multi-disciplinary team, they will use the Motor ABC, which assess their motor skills and
the individual will be asked to do certain performs (dyspraxia NHS diagnosis August 2019).
Standards used to diagnosis a disability
Standards of practice are conditions set by the government given to children and families. Any
organisation gives information about different disabilities, some are the foundation for people with
learning disabilities, the national autistic society and many more.
Professional background, qualifications and experience of undertaking diagnosis
Professionals would have gone through practice to be able to have a degree to work within health
and social care. To become a specialist to be able to diagnosis you would have to go through loads of
training and experience. Many specialises goes through especially trained practice for the pacific
area to become to diagnosis someone. There are many programmes to train these people to be able
to diagnosis such as PATOSS.
