The person, their family and members of the care team need to be informed about the skills development progress of the person.
Scenario:
A young man with a physical disability wants to learn to swim, gain water confidence, improve his physical strength and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of swimming. He lost his left leg when he was a child and now uses a prosthetic.
You have organised swimming lessons at the local pool and the swimming instructor has experience delivering suitable swimming programs for people with disability.
The young man has never swum before but his goal is to learn to swim freestyle and swim one length of the pool unaided within six months.
You are expected to attend the swimming classes, monitor the young mans progress and keep his family, carer or others identified by him informed regarding the success of the lessons, the development of his swimming abilities and the achievement of his goal.
After a few months he tells you that he finds swimming very enjoyable and would eventually like to start training with a long term view of competitive swimming and possibly even participation in the Paralympics.
Explain why you need to monitor his progress and why you should provide feedback to him, his family, carer or others identified by him.
