Unit learning outcomes 1. Demonstrate the following knowledge and understanding of the contribution socially constructed
notions of “childhood development” and “life-course progression” make to the conceptualisation of
disabled children.
2. Demonstrate the following skills and abilities: Analysis of the impact of dominant models and
impairment on the conceptualisation and treatment of disabled children.
What am I required to do in this assignment?
Individually, you will develop a PowerPoint Presentation using a case study to analyse the way concepts of childhood, family,
disability and impairment impact upon the way disabled children are treated and conceptualised.
You are to submit the PowerPoint presentation to grade centre and you also have to submit detailed notes with the
PowerPoint slides. These notes must reflect what you would have spoken had you been standing in front of an audience. The
notes should be structured according to your slides i.e., each note of each slide should reflect what you would say in the oral
presentation if you were presenting each slide.
The notes should be presented in the notes section of the Power-Point. Please see the unit’ breo ‘Assessment& Feedback’ shell
for a video on how to add notes on PowerPoint. If you are unable to add notes in the notes section of a PowerPoint, you can
put a ‘notes slide’ after each presentation slide. For example, slide 1 presentation slide, slide 2
notes narrating what you would have said about slide 1 presentation slide, slide 3 presentation slide, slide 4 notes speaking to
slide 3 and so on.
What do I need to do to pass? (Threshold Expectations from UIF)
In order to pass the assignment, you will need to:
Select, research and analyse a specific case study scenario relating to disabled children and young people.
Discuss the ways in which current service provision serves to challenge or reinforce dominant constructions of
children/young people and their families.
Assess the role of the state and positioning of the family in relation to disabled children/young people.
How do I produce high quality work that merits a good grade?
Engage in analysis relating to the way concepts of childhood, family, disability and impairment impact upon the way disabled
children are treated and conceptualised.
Discuss the ways in which current policy and service provision serves to challenge or reinforce dominant constructions of
children/young people and their families.
Assess the role of the state and positioning of the family in relation to disabled children/young people.
Some pointers to address the above:
- Analyse issues of disadvantage and oppression and how these impact the lives of disabled children and young people, for example
consider how discrimination features in your case study – does the child/young person or family experience discrimination- directly
or indirectly?
- Consider how disability deviates from socially constructed notions of “childhood” and “life-course progression” and the general
outcomes of disabled children/young people in relation to your chosen case study.
- Summarise the key concepts associated with at least 2 models of disability (e.g., social model etc) and use these theories to
identify and explain the causes of the disadvantage and oppression of disabled people.
- Consider how children/young people and their families are supported by relevant policies and service provision- how do these
(policies & services) challenge or/and reinforce the dominant constructions of disabled children/young people and their
families? Might disabled children/young people and their families be better supported? How?
Use empirical and non-empirical research, evaluative research and books relating to your case study to support your arguments.
Also use policies and legislations- examples might be “reasonable adjustment” in the Equality Act 2010; Person Centred Planning; A
Child in Need in section 17 in the Children’s Act 1989; The Carers and Disabled Children Act 2000; Children and Families Act 2014;
Special Educational Needs and Disability 2013; Aiming Higher 2007; Safeguarding Disabled Children 2009; advocacy etc. Only
discuss the interventions/policies/service provision and research relevant for your case study. [Show Less]
