This stand alone module is suitable for people using or working in intellectual disability services. The module enables students, through a process of co-operative learning, to identify and lead a service/support improvement initiative in the area of intellectual disability. The co-operative learning involves the engagement of service staff, service users and their families/carers in supporting each others’ learning and, collaboratively, effecting the service development. The module comprises a mixture of lectures, group work and tutorials. It is assessed through continuous assessment whereby students are expected to critically analyse the nature of service change and development and to articulate in some depth the processes and challenges involved in the service improvement project undertaken. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
