Quiz

Question 2/102/10

Which of the following expectations is reasonable to ask from an individual's residential staff in
support of the individual's employment?

Select the answer:Select the answer

1 correct answer

ensuring the individual is making friends at work

calling the employer to discuss issues the employee is having at work

reviewing skills learned at work and practicing tasks that might be difficult to perform

supporting the individual in maintaining a clean work uniform

The correct answer is D. supporting the individual in maintaining a clean work uniform.
Here’s why:
Residential staff support the person in ways that help them be ready for work and maintain daily routines, but they should not take over responsibilities that belong to the employer or workplace. Their role is typically to help the individual succeed by supporting personal care, routines, and life skills at home.
Why D is reasonable:
Supporting the individual in maintaining a clean work uniform is a practical residential responsibility. Residential staff can help with laundry, organization, and preparation so the person has a clean uniform available for work. This directly supports employment without interfering with the workplace itself.
Why the other options are not the best answers:
A. ensuring the individual is making friends at work
This is not a realistic expectation for residential staff. Friendships at work are personal and depend on workplace relationships. Staff can encourage social skills, but they cannot ensure friendships.
B. calling the employer to discuss issues the employee is having at work
This is generally not the role of residential staff unless specifically authorized and appropriate. Employment-related concerns are usually handled through the job coach, employment specialist, supervisor, or the individual themselves, depending on the situation. Residential staff should not independently intervene in workplace matters.
C. reviewing skills learned at work and practicing tasks that might be difficult to perform
This is more typically the role of an employment specialist, job coach, or vocational support staff, not residential staff. Residential staff may help practice general life skills, but work-task training usually happens in an employment support setting.
In summary:
Residential staff are reasonably expected to help with home-based supports that prepare the individual for work, such as keeping a uniform clean. That makes D the best answer.

Right Answer: D

Quiz

Question 8/108/10

Which of the following is the LEAST effective way for a family to support a job seeker in obtaining
competitive employment?

Select the answer:Select the answer

1 correct answer

Providing the employment support professional with information about her job history

Providing the employment support professional with pertinent information about her disability

Attending job interviews and new employer orientation sessions to learn more about the job and hiring procedures

Assisting her to identify her interests and vocational strengths

The correct answer is C. Attending job interviews and new employer orientation sessions to learn more about the job and hiring procedures.
This question asks which action is the least effective way for a family to support a person seeking competitive employment. “Competitive employment” refers to a job in the regular labor market, with wages and responsibilities similar to those of other workers.
Why C is the least effective:
- Job interviews are generally the responsibility of the job seeker, not the family.
- Employer orientation sessions are meant for the employee, and sometimes only the employee and employer should be directly involved.
- Family attendance may be unnecessary or even unhelpful if it reduces the job seeker’s independence or makes the employer focus on the family rather than the applicant.
- Families can support the process best by helping behind the scenes, not by taking over the job seeker’s role.
Why the other options are more effective:
A. Providing the employment support professional with information about her job history
- This is helpful because past job experience can show strengths, preferences, and areas where support may be needed.
- It allows the employment professional to match the person with suitable jobs.
B. Providing the employment support professional with pertinent information about her disability
- This is also useful because it helps the support professional understand any accommodations, challenges, or support strategies that may improve job success.
- Sharing relevant disability-related information can improve planning and job matching.
D. Assisting her to identify her interests and vocational strengths
- This is one of the most effective ways a family can help.
- Understanding interests and strengths helps the job seeker choose employment that fits her abilities and goals.
- Better job fit increases the chances of obtaining and keeping competitive employment.
Summary:
The least effective support is C because family members should not usually attend interviews or orientation sessions; their role is better focused on providing background information and helping the job seeker develop independence and self-determination.

Right Answer: C

Quiz

Question 9/109/10

employer says, "This girl seems pretty disabled. Are you sure she can do the job?" Which of the
following is the BEST initial response?

Select the answer:Select the answer

"There may be tasks she cannot do, so now seems like a good time to talk about accommodations."

"I understand. Our job matching' process is designed to connect candidates who can do the job."

"Oh. I'm sure she can do the job. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here, "ve known her for years."

"I agree with you. We will look for a job elsewhere."

Quiz

Question 10/1010/10

An employment support professional is working with Carl, a 25-year-old man with an intellectual
disability, who rode the city bus once and got lost. Since then, his parents will not allow him to ride
the city bus and do not want him riding with strangers on specialized transportation service which
provides door-to-door service. His current transportation does not provide rides to work. Carl is his
own guardian and wants to receive city bus training but does not want to upset his parents. What is
the BEST advocacy for Carl to receive bus training?

Select the answer:Select the answer

1 correct answer

Inform Carl's parents that he is gelling city bus training because he requested it and is his own guardian

Explain to Carl's parents how city bus training is provided and ensure that Carl knows what to do if he were to become lost.

Assist Carl to meet with his team and his parents to discuss city bus training, then plan and prepare for the city bus training.

Provide city bus training to Carl without his parents' knowledge and ask Carl not to tell them until he is successfully trained.

The best answer is C. Assist Carl to meet with his team and his parents to discuss city bus training, then plan and prepare for the city bus training.
Why C is best:
Carl is his own guardian, so he has the legal right to make decisions about his transportation and to request training he believes he needs. At the same time, he does not want to upset his parents, and his parents are worried because of a past experience when he got lost. The best advocacy approach is not to ignore the parents or to act secretly, but to bring everyone together for a respectful discussion.
This option is best because it:
1. Respects Carl’s self-determination
Carl wants bus training, and since he is his own guardian, his wishes should be central to the plan.
2. Includes the support team and family
Meeting with his team and parents allows everyone to address safety concerns, ask questions, and work toward a shared plan.
3. Promotes safety and preparation
Planning and preparing for training helps ensure Carl learns the skills needed to ride safely and confidently.
Why the other options are not best:
A. Inform Carl's parents that he is getting city bus training because he requested it and is his own guardian
This recognizes Carl’s rights, but it is too direct and does not address the parents’ concerns or help build cooperation. It may also upset them rather than support a collaborative solution.
B. Explain to Carl's parents how city bus training is provided and ensure that Carl knows what to do if he were to become lost
This focuses on education and safety, which is helpful, but it leaves out Carl’s preference to avoid upsetting his parents and does not clearly include a shared planning process with his team. It is less complete than C.
D. Provide city bus training to Carl without his parents' knowledge and ask Carl not to tell them until he is successfully trained
This is not appropriate. Even though Carl is his own guardian, secrecy is not a good advocacy strategy here. It could damage trust and create conflict if the parents later find out.
Key point:
The best advocacy balances Carl’s rights, his safety, and his family relationships. A team meeting is the most respectful and effective way to support his request.
Final answer: C
