Second-year Developmental Service Worker students are ready to virtually support individuals with a Developmental or Intellectual disability. Our students use the theory of Social Role Valorization to frame and understand the role of supporter. Listening; experiencing the rhythm of a person's day; determining a person's life experiences and the limits society has imposed upon their opportunities; understanding a person's relationships; listening to friends, family, and allies of a person; attending to a person's gifts, talents and interests; and noticing a person's reactions to everyday interactions are all ways that students can come to know and understand the person or people they support at their field placement. Students will take direction from the person he/she supports, to establish or enhance valued social role in their life. Please note that all of our students will have their Vulnerable Sector Screening completed. This is unpaid, for-credit work experience.
