Namely, Multi-Element Behaviour Support and Identity Sexuality Mortality and Trauma. These modules are part of the MSc in Disability and can now also be taken as standalone CPD modules.
Multi-Element Behaviour Support: This module introduces the student to a biological, psychological, social and environmental understanding of behavioural support needs for the disabled person. Informed by a Human Rights Based Approach the Multi-Element Behaviour Support Model will be covered. The student will develop their competencies in working collaboratively with assessment methods, intervention design and writing of a multi-element behaviour support plan along with implementation and evaluation techniques included in this model. Legal, ethical, risk and decision making are all explored in the context of relevant legislation and local, national and international policies. This module may be of interest to people working in the area of behavioural support or for those wishing to advance their studies in this area. Students will be awarded a CPD certificate from UCD.
Identity Sexuality Mortality and Trauma in Disability: This module introduces theoretical debates, issues, narratives, concepts and current constructs on identity, sexuality, mortality and trauma for individuals with disability. Identity formation is explored using a number of models to aid understanding which is then used to consider disability support and representation in society. A broad definition of sexuality informs current perspectives as they relate to the expression, support and celebration of sexuality and sexualities. Trauma, loss, bereavement and dying through a disability informed lens is explored, This module may be of interest to people working in the area of Personal Plans and person centred plans with a particular interest in supporting the themes of Identity, Sexuality, Mortality and Trauma for the disabled person or for those wishing to advance their studies in this area. Students will be awarded a CPD certificate from UCD.
Each module will be delivered in person on the UCD Belfield Campus over 12 weeks, every Tuesday from 23rd May – 25th July. The cost for each CPD module is €500 and is open to all.
