This topic provides opportunities for students to further extend their experience working alongside professionals in the field to build upon professional competencies gained from practicum experience. The practicum specialisations provide students with choice to apply in practice a specialist area of study within a more focussed organisational setting. A practicum specialisation should be linked to in-depth study into a specialist area or issue and can be linked to independent study.
The aim of this topic is to further enhance professional skills through: opportunities to design, implement and evaluate an intervention, service model or management system designed to improve the quality of life of individuals living with disability; the facilitation of critical thinking and debate in relation to theory and practice in disability service provision; opportunities for self-reflection about personal performance.
