(latest NCVER data)Supporting people with communication difficulties in disability and community services requires appropriate communication tools to enable choice, participation and everyday interactions. This unit gives RTOs a practical disability support training option for workers assisting people who use non-verbal, aided or alternative communication methods.
Learners develop skills in identifying individual communication needs, recognising communication signals, using augmentative and alternative communication aids, supporting individual preferences, adapting communication strategies, monitoring effectiveness and reporting communication needs.
Equip your RTO with CHCDIS013 RTO training materials designed to support practical training in communication aids, individual communication preferences and inclusive disability support practices. Purchase RTO materials from TotalVET Training Resources to reduce internal resource development time and access prepared learning and assessment documents for your training delivery.
These structured learning materials support engaging delivery across classroom, online and blended environments, helping trainers guide learners through the required knowledge and skills.
These assessment tools give RTOs a consistent framework for gathering evidence, making assessment decisions and recording learner outcomes across varied delivery settings.
CHCDIS013 Assist with communication using augmentative and alternative communication methods focuses on supporting people with disability or communication difficulties to use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) methods in health, disability, education and community service settings. It involves applying person-centred communication practices, working with individuals and relevant others, and helping ensure communication supports are appropriate, accessible and used consistently in everyday activities.
The unit addresses five core areas:
The CHCDIS013 RTO training resources help trainers introduce communication approaches used to support people with complex communication needs. Trainers can connect learning activities with practical demonstrations involving communication boards, picture-based systems, gestures and electronic AAC devices in disability and community services settings.
Assessment activities should allow learners to demonstrate appropriate communication strategies, recognise individual communication preferences and respond to client needs. RTOs can use the assessment materials as a starting point for gathering evidence through simulated interactions or suitable workplace activities, subject to assessment requirements and validation.
Yes, where the resource format and licence conditions permit, trainers can contextualise CHCDIS013 learning materials for disability services, supported accommodation and community care settings. Examples can reflect different communication aids, individual support plans and organisational procedures while maintaining alignment with unit requirements.
Free samples, where available, allow your training team to examine resource structure, presentation and content before making a purchasing decision. Reviewing samples helps determine whether the materials suit your learner cohort, delivery approach and assessment processes before you purchase RTO materials.
The CHCDIS013 training resources provide a commercial starting point for delivery and assessment. Your RTO should review the materials against current training package requirements, including practical communication skills, assessment conditions and evidence requirements. Contextualisation and validation remain important for ensuring the resources suit your delivery environment and assessment practices.
