Instruction
Part One:
Imagine that you are asked to consult with a leadership team within an organization that is committed to addressing the need for programs assisting the intellectually disabled. They want you to help them build in a primary prevention component to their work for next year. There is also a desire to find employment opportunities for them as well. Discuss the approach you would take as an organizational consultant. What is your conceptualization of a primary prevention goal for this organization?
Fill in details about this organization as you wish. Specify three activities you would include in a consulting contract with this organization and explain why each is important in moving them toward their primary prevention goal. Analyze cultural and ethical issues that may be involved in this consultation work as a social and behavioral sciences professional.
Part Two
Introduce the practical problem in society that drives the research on transferrable skills for the intellectually disabled, the populations affected, confirming that it is a world-wide issue—not just an issue experienced in the US.
Identify important facets about the issue that have been explored in the research based on both quantitative and qualitative methodologies.
Identify theoretical perspectives researchers have used to explain or predict the phenomena.
Identify and explain various levels of prevention addressed in the literature in relation to transferrable marketable skills available to the intellectually disabled—including becoming direct care professionals, assisting nursing staff within residential long-term care facilities.
Summarize the key findings of current research on your topic or issue.
Synthesize the practical recommendations made related to early intervention, prevention, and advocacy.
Analyze ethical issues (including social justice and cultural relevancy) in relation to the intellectually disabled.
Compose a presentation of the problem in the community, related to intellectually disabled and finding transferrable employment skills, supported by current scholarly research, between 6–8 pages in length.
A description of the three individuals at three different organizations you selected for a more in-depth assessment. This section should present a summary and discussion of the responses you received during your interviews. (Reminder: the interview questions were developed in the Unit 3 discussion) and should be designed to gain a sense of the depth and breadth of the organization's involvement with early intervention, prevention, and advocacy around your topic or issue locally, state-wide, regionally, or even nationally, depending on the organization's mission. This section of the project should be between 6–9 pages in length.
A summary of assessment, with recommendations for adding or strengthening the prevention and advocacy activities and services in the context of a diverse, multicultural society; approximately 3 pages in length.
