Not all students are able to demonstrate skill competency in the same way, therefore it may be necessary to adjust the assessment tasks for individual students. Reasonable adjustment is the process of adjusting or changing the assessment to
meet the needs, characteristics and any equity requirements of the student being assessed. This must be applied within the framework of the unit and the impact on the organisation.
Reasonable adjustment to learning methodologies and assessment may need to be applied when a student has any of the following issues:
• Physical disabilities.
• Limited language, literacy and/or numeracy skills.
• Limited communication skills.
• Limited learning strategies
Reasonable adjustment ensures:
- Adjustable learning strategies that aim to meet the learning needs of each student.
- Appropriate learning materials for the individual needs of each student.
- Flexible learning activities with appropriate study materials
- Adaptable assessment procedures that enable individual students to demonstrate the knowledge, skills or
competencies
Students who believe they may require reasonable adjustment during their learning are encouraged to speak with IAP’s enrolment team during the enrolment process so that we can pass this information onto your trainer/assessor and include
these adjustments in the training and assessment strategy.
The types of adjustments that are made must be within our capacity to provide them and include:
• Oral response to questions rather than written.
• Allowing extra time for assessment.
• Using a support person.
• Enlarging reading material.
• Braille translations.
• Use of technology such as voice activated software screen reading, voice synthesisers
