This exciting new text has been specifically developed for the Disability specialisation of the new CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support. As the only text on the market written at this level for students seeking careers in the Disability sector, it brings clarity and relevance for this increasingly important area of work.

The text has been written to address the nine core Individual Support units of Competency, the three Disability specialisation units, plus six commonly delivered electives. As a teaching and training resource it is current and relevant to industry standards and practice. The resource is also accompanied by a comprehensive suite of Instructor Resources including Worksheets, PowerPoints, Teacher Resource Manual (TRM) and mapping. The design of the questions in the text, answers provided in the TRM, and worksheets, offer a wide range of tools that may be incorporated into formal assessments.
