Reasonable Adjustment
Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for learners with a disability -
November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development Centre
Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning environment or making
changes to the training delivered to assist a learner with a disability. A reasonable adjustment can be
as simple as changing classrooms to be closer to amenities or installing a particular type of software
on a computer for a person with vision impairment.
Why make a reasonable adjustment?
We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that learners with a disability have:
 The same learning opportunities as learners without a disability, and
 The same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a disability.
Reasonable adjustment applied to participation in teaching, learning and assessment activities can
include:
 Customising resources and assessment activities within the training package or accredited
course
 Modifying the presentation medium
 Learner support
 Use of assistive/adaptive technologies
 Making information accessible both before enrolment and during the course
 Monitoring the adjustments to ensure learners needs continue to be met
Assistive/Adaptive Technologies
Assistive/Adaptive technology means ‘software or hardware that has been specifically designed to
assist people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities’ (World Wide Web Consortium - W3C). It
includes screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software, alternative keyboards, devices for
grasping, visual alert systems, digital note-takers.
IMPORTANT:
Reasonable adjustment made for collecting learner assessment evidence must not impact on the
standard expected by the workplace, as expressed by the relevant unit(s) of competency. For
example, if the assessment were gathering evidence of the learner’s competency in writing,
allowing the learner to complete the assessment verbally would not be a valid assessment
method. The method of assessment used by any reasonable adjustment must still meet the
competency requirements.

Question 5

Outline the steps for conducting inclusive meetings in the workplace.


If you’re currently in a workplace, you can refer to the procedures from your organisation.

Steps in Conducting Inclusive Meetings in the Workplace

 Inclusive preparation: Before the meeting, consider the diversity of participants and
adapt the agenda and materials to be accessible and understandable to all. Consider
the needs of people with disabilities, different communication styles and diverse
cultural backgrounds.

 Create a safe environment: Establish an atmosphere of respect and trust, where all
participants feel safe to express their ideas and opinions without fear of being judged
or ridiculed. Encourage active listening and demonstrate empathy for others'
perspectives.

 Fairness in participation: Ensure that all voices are heard and have the opportunity to
contribute. Avoid domination of the discussion by a few people and encourage more
introverted or underrepresented participants to actively participate.

 Use inclusive language: Use inclusive language and avoid terms or phrases that may
exclude or offend certain groups. Respect people's preferred names and pronouns
and avoid making assumptions about their identity or experience.

 Inclusive decision making: When making decisions, seek consensus and consider the
perspectives and needs of all participants. Avoid excluding or marginalizing minority
voices and ensure that decisions reflect the diversity of the organization.

 Follow-up and evaluation: After the meeting, evaluate how the meeting was
conducted in terms of inclusiveness and take steps to improve for future meetings.
Review progress on assigned tasks and ensure that everyone involved is included in
subsequent communications.

Question 6

Below are scenarios about workplace interactions involving meetings and presentations. Read
each scenario and answer each question that follow about communication tone.

a. Scenario 1
The Marketing Manager of Bounce Fitness calls for a meeting with their team members to
discuss new ideas for the promotion of the organisation’s training services. In the meeting,
the manager must:
 Get at least one or two ideas from each team member
 Acknowledge and compliment the ideas
 Expound on interesting ideas
 Ask the team members to ask questions if the ideas are not clear to them

i. What tone can the Marketing Manager use when discussing with the team members?

The tone of communication should be empathetic, actively listening to the opinions of


team members and fostering an environment where everyone feels comfortable expressing
their views. The goal is to seek constructive collaboration and reach consensus, rather than
creating unnecessary conflict or tension.

b. Scenario 2
After meeting with the team members, the Marketing Manager set up a meeting with the
CEO to present the new marketing ideas. In the meeting, the manager must:
 Introduce the ideas and their purpose, objectives, main points, and advantages
 Avoid making statements irrelevant to the ideas being proposed

ii. What tone can the Marketing Manager use when presenting to the CEO?

The tone should be professional and focused on the clarity and relevance of the ideas
presented. The Marketing Manager should convey confidence in the proposals and highlight
how they will contribute to the achievement of the company's objectives. Avoiding irrelevant
statements helps to keep the presentation concise and effective, focusing on the main points
and highlighting the benefits of the proposed ideas.

Question 7

Identify the four communication styles. For each communication style, provide at least one
example of a situation when each is demonstrated in the workplace.

Communication Style Example

a. Passive A person with a passive communication style tends


communication to avoid conflict and avoid expressing his or her own needs
or desires. Workplace example: An employee who does not
feel comfortable sharing his or her ideas in meetings and
prefers to remain silent, even when he or she has valuable
contributions to make.

b. Aggressive A person with an aggressive communication style


communication tends to impose his or her opinions and desires on others,
regardless of their views. Workplace example: A boss who
yells at and humiliates his employees in public when they
fail to meet his expectations, with no regard for their
dignity and emotional well-being

c. Passive-aggressive A person with a passive-aggressive communication


communication style shows an attitude of submission or apparent
compliance, but then acts indirectly or hostile. Workplace
example: A co-worker who criticizes colleagues from
behind and makes sarcastic or derisive comments, rather
than directly addressing problems or concerns.
d. Assertive A person with an assertive communication style
Communication expresses themselves clearly, respectfully and directly,
communicating their needs, opinions and boundaries
effectively. Workplace example: An employee who
expresses his or her ideas clearly and fearlessly during

Question 8

Below are scenarios involving workplace interactions. Read each scenario and answer each
question that follow about communication structure.

a. Scenario 1
Jack is part of the team of Fitness Instructors under Bounce Fitness. Every week, the fitness
instructors gather in the meeting room to talk about concerns their customers may have
raised during the week. They all contribute solutions to solve the concerns of the customers.
Aside from that, they also discuss about possible improvements they can implement for
future tasks.

i. What is the communication structure present in the situation?

The communication structure present is horizontal or peer-to-peer communication. All


Bounce Fitness fitness instructors meet in the meeting room to discuss client concerns and
provide solutions. In this structure, there is no formal hierarchy or designated leader, allowing
all team members to participate equally and contribute their ideas and suggestions.
Communication flows openly and collaboratively among trainers, which encourages
information sharing and collaborative problem solving.

b. Scenario 2
Stephanie is the General Manager of Bounce Fitness. She receives an instruction to inform
the employees about the new rule regarding office hours from the Vice President. She relays
this information to each of the Department Heads. The heads will then relay the information
to their respective team leaders, who will then disseminate the information to their
members.

ii. What is the communication structure present in the situation?

the communication structure present is a top-down, Stephanie, as the General Manager


of Bounce Fitness, receives the instruction and then relays it to the Department
Heads. These heads, in turn, relay the information to their respective team leaders,
who ultimately disseminate it to their team members. EIn this type of communication
structure, information flows from the top of the hierarchy to lower levels.
Communication is unidirectional and is based on authority and responsibility to pass
on information and directives. In this case, Stephanie acts as the primary
communication channel and department heads and team leaders are responsible for
relaying information to their subordinates.

Part 1 Case Study Overview

Project New Look

You are the manager of one of the centres of Bounce Fitness. You are working closely with the
CEO and Executive Assistant regarding the project to rebrand Bounce Fitness.
The CEO has been in discussion with the Board a plan to rebrand Bounce Fitness, starting with its
logo and shirt design. This will be the company’s first rebranding in six years. A lot of new fitness
centres have arisen in the last few years, so the CEO thinks that Bounce Fitness needs to redesign
its look to attract new customers into the business. This aims to contribute to the achievement of
the following organisational objectives:
a. Continue to cultivate Bounce Fitness image as a premier long-term wellness program
provider
b. Increase market penetration
The following is the proposed design for the rebranding:

New Logo New Company Shirt


The target groups for this plan includes the Bounce Fitness staff and customers, particularly the
young people and over 50’s. The Bounce Fitness staff has an even mixture of male and female
employees, with an average age range of 19 to 43. About 20 percent of them speaks English as a
second language. Most of them directly work with customers. They will be able to reinforce the
new brand and cultivate the Bounce Fitness image as a long-term wellness and health provider to
current and prospective customers.
Customers which include the young people and over 50’s are the key targets of this proposal as
they are likely looking to improve on their health and fitness. They are also the target market for
ongoing membership which is highly tied to the business objective.

When you present the information to them, the main concern will be the appeal of the new logo
and shirt design to the target audience as well as when this will be commencing. It is important to
let them know that this information is confidential at the moment, and only selected people from
the Bounce Fitness staff and customers are invited to the preview. This information is confidential
to avoid the risk of the idea being copied by competitors. Only the management is authorised to
present other information relating to this plan in a staff meeting.
The CEO is the person in authority will be the one to give you the approval to communicate the
rebranding with the target groups on behalf of the organisation.

POSITION ON THE PROPOSAL

a. As the manager of one of Bounce Fitness's centers, I am enthusiastic and supportive of


the company's rebranding project. I recognize the need to adapt and evolve in an ever-
changing competitive marketplace. The new logo and T-shirt design reflect our continued
dedication to providing long-term wellness programs and will help us attract new customers,
especially the younger and older 50s, who are key segments in the fitness market. I am
committed to effectively communicating the rebrand to my team and our clients, highlighting
the benefits and relevance of this update to our image and services.

CONTEXT OF COMMUNICATION

Information to be  The rebranding plan itself, which encompasses the


Communicated redesign of the logo and the design of the jersey.
 Organizational goals of the rebrand, such as cultivating
Bounce Fitness's image as a premier provider of long-term
wellness programs and increasing market penetration.
 The plan's target groups, which include Bounce Fitness staff
and customers, especially youth and those 50+.
Confidential Information The specific details of the new logo and jersey design, which
have not yet been revealed to the public, and customer data

Reason for Avoid the risk of the idea being copied by competitors: Keeping
Confidentiality the design secret until it is officially presented in preview to selected
staff and clients ensures that the competition does not have access to
information and cannot get ahead of the implementation of a similar
design. This allows Bounce Fitness to stand out and maintain its
competitive edge in the marketplace. In addition, by keeping it
confidential, the intellectual property of the company is protected
and the dilution of the brand is avoided before its official launch.

Potential Issues and Problems

Issues

a. Resistance to change: Some employees and customers may show resistance to


rebranding due to familiarity and attachment to the previous brand. They may have difficulty
adjusting to the new identity and feel uncertain about how it will affect the quality of services.

b. Lack of effective communication: If the communication about the rebranding is not


managed properly, there can be confusion, misunderstanding or lack of clear information. This
can lead to rumours, speculation, and mistrust among employees and customers.

Problems

a. Copying by competitors: The confidentiality of information related to the rebranding is


crucial to prevent the idea from being copied by competitors. If confidential information is
leaked or shared inappropriately, it could compromise Bounce Fitness's competitive
advantage and lead to imitations by other gyms.

b. Negative perception of the new brand: There is a possibility that the new brand will not
be well received by customers. It may not meet your expectations or generate the same
emotional connection as the previous brand. This could result in decreased customer
satisfaction and lost potential customers.

Forums to Present Information

Forums

a. Staff Meetings: Staff meetings are an important forum for communicating information
to the organization's employees. At these meetings, a detailed presentation on the rebranding
can be provided, including the goals, proposed design, and implementation strategy. In
addition, this space can be used to answer questions and address concerns of employees.

b. Social Media Postings and Website: social media and the Bounce Fitness website are
ideal platforms for sharing information about the rebrand. Messages, images, and videos can
be posted introducing the new logo and jersey design, as well as explanations of the reasons
behind the change and the benefits to customers. These posts can generate anticipation and
excitement among the online community.

Communication and Presentation Styles

Communication and Presentation Style

Tone The tone of communication should be professional, clear


and positive. We need to convey confidence and enthusiasm
about the rebrand and the associated benefits. It is important to
maintain an open and receptive tone, encouraging participation
and feedback from the audience. In addition, the tone should be
appropriate to the Bounce Fitness organizational culture and
reflect the company's values and image.

Structure The communication structure must be organized and


logical, following a coherent flow of information. In the
introduction, we can state the purpose of the communication
and provide an overview of the rebranding. In the body, specific
details such as objectives, proposed design, and timelines can be
presented. Finally, in the conclusion, we can summarize the key
points and reinforce the benefits of the rebrand.

Style The communication style must be clear, concise and


adapted to the audience. It is important to use accessible
language and avoid using unnecessary jargon or technical terms.
A narrative or descriptive style can be used to convey the story
and vision behind the rebrand. Additionally, the visual style can
be effective by incorporating graphic and visual elements to
highlight the key aspects of the rebranding.

Agenda Item 2 Areas of Common Ground

areas of common interest with respect to the


aforementioned information
Discussion

Brand Identity: Both Bounce Fitness clients and fitness staff have a common interest in
maintaining the organization's brand identity. Both groups are concerned with how the
rebranding may affect the perception of the organization in the target market. They want to
ensure that the new brand image continues to properly represent Bounce Fitness's values and
reputation.
T-shirt Design: Both clients and fitness staff at Bounce Fitness have a common interest in T-shirt
design. Both groups want design options available to suit the preferences and needs of different
market segments. They want the redesigned jerseys to be attractive, comfortable, and
representative of the brand's new image, but they also want variety in terms of styles and
sleeves to meet individual customer preferences.

Agenda Item 3 Areas of Potential Compromise

areas of potential compromise regarding decisions about


the information being communicated
Discussion

Adaptation of the design for different age groups: There is a possible compromise in terms of the
design of the jersey and how it should adapt to the preferences of different age groups. While
the younger customer is pleased with the new T-shirt design, the older customer feels it needs to
be revised slightly to accommodate older people's preferences. Here, there might be an
opportunity to compromise in terms of making subtle adjustments to the design to meet the
needs and preferences of both younger and older customers.
Communication of Revised Logo Design Updates: There is a potential compromise as to how and
when updates to the revised logo design will be communicated. The former customer expresses
an interest in knowing how he can get updates on the revised design. Here, a compromise could
be reached by establishing clear and regular communication with clients, providing them with
updates on design progress and delivery dates. Consideration might also be given to allowing
registered customers to receive updates via email or through a specific Bounce Fitness online
platform.

Agenda Item 4 Summary of Discussion

In conclusion, the following can be said

Discussion

The discussion focused on the importance of considering the preferences of different age groups
in the design of the shirt and establishing effective communication with customers to keep them
informed about the progress of the revised design and the following points were concluded:
 Both think the new logo image does not accurately represent the brand.
 They both like the design of the jersey and agree with the target market representatives
on the sleeve options.
 Both propose to have winter jackets also for the clothing line for interested customers in
the future.
 Both suggest the design that will be applied to the interior of the facilities, as well as the
consistency of your brand.
 One of you asks when you can share the information discussed at the meeting.
 Both ask for the presentation date of the new design of the shirt.
