This Module is required within the Principles and Practices of Direct Support Curriculum.
$30.00

The Community Living Skills and Supports module is a practical series of lessons that show best practice techniques for supporting people. ADLs and IADLS are discussed and practical ways of promoting a person's independence are demonstrated.

DSPs are not maids or butlers, therefore they are not expected to clean and take care of someone's home maintenance. DSPs do however support people in cleaning and maintaining their own homes and included in this lesson are short tutorials of many tasks. Transferring someone in and out of bed, proper use of gait belts and wheelchairs are also demonstrated. This module is a must for anyone supporting people in trying to increase or maintain independence within their own home.

I love the demonstration videos and the short quizzes afterward. It made it easy to comprehend and apply.

The thing that stumped me was getting pants on handicapped men & women. You demonstrated putting shirts on but not pants on handicapped people. May I suggest that you can use a women dressed in a workout elastic body suit, with body hair tucked under the suit, to demonstrate? (My problem as a student nurse was getting pants on a patient with a contracted leg.) I would also suggested mention of range of motion for weakened or paralyzed body parts, especially full extension of arms up over head. Getting contractures on home care is not a good thing.

What I like most about the videos that they are easy to follow and there are no trick questions. They are straightforward and to the point.

Geared towards Adults
Aug 14, 2022
I learned some good things although most information is geared towards assisting adults rather than children. I think two of the videos played twice, Brushing Your Teeth and Moving from the Wheel Chair to the Bed. I would have liked to see longer video segments. There were so many that were only 1-2 minutes long, instead combine all those into one longer section like Cleaning. Thanks

When watching a section of the video, I realized that one of the questions didn’t match with the material watched. Then, the next video was related to such previous question. Before ending this video, a couple of sections were repeated automatically even though I had already completed those specific segments. Also, the section about repositioning the bed pan was not captured in the video. When the DSP, demonstrator, was doing it, the video didn’t show the pan in the right position. Additionally, I have noticed too many misspellings in the written questions. Please check it out. Thanks
