(latest NCVER data)Supporting people with complex communication needs requires tailored strategies and communication aids that enable choice, participation and meaningful interaction in disability support settings. This unit gives RTOs a specialised training option for disability support workers and practitioners responsible for implementing individualised communication approaches.
Learners develop skills in assessing communication needs, identifying suitable augmentative and alternative communication systems, developing communication strategies, supporting system use, collaborating with clients and relevant professionals, and monitoring communication effectiveness.
Equip your RTO with CHCDIS014 RTO training materials designed to support practical learning and assessment in assistive communication, individualised support strategies and inclusive disability services. Purchase RTO materials from TotalVET Training Resources to reduce internal resource development time and deliver structured, workplace-relevant training.
These structured learning materials support engaging delivery of Develop and use strategies for communication with augmentative and alternative communication systems across classroom, online and blended environments. Each resource is designed to help learners build practical communication skills while giving trainers clear, adaptable delivery tools.
These assessment tools provide a structured way to gather, assess and record evidence of learner competency. They support consistent assessment decisions and help RTOs organise assessment delivery, feedback and recordkeeping.
CHCDIS014 Develop and use strategies for communication with augmentative and alternative communication systems focuses on developing and applying communication strategies that support people with disability who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems. It applies in disability support and community service settings, where workers collaborate with individuals, families, carers and other professionals to promote effective, consistent and respectful communication in everyday activities.
The unit addresses five core areas:
The CHCDIS014 RTO training resources provide a foundation for teaching communication strategies used with people who have complex communication needs. Trainers can connect learning activities with practical demonstrations involving communication boards, symbol-based systems, electronic AAC devices and person-centred communication approaches.
Assessment activities can be contextualised to reflect the AAC systems learners encounter in disability support and community services workplaces. RTOs should ensure assessment arrangements allow learners to demonstrate appropriate communication strategies, individualised support and effective interactions while meeting the unit’s evidence requirements.
The CHCDIS014 learning materials can support structured teaching of AAC concepts, communication barriers and strategies for supporting individual communication preferences. Trainers can reinforce these concepts through workplace scenarios, guided discussions and practical activities that build learners’ confidence before interacting with people using AAC systems.
The CHCDIS014 training materials can be contextualised to reflect relevant workplace procedures, communication technologies and learner cohorts. Where editable formats are supplied, RTOs can adjust terminology, incorporate organisational branding and adapt examples to their delivery context, subject to applicable licensing conditions.
Free samples, where available, allow your training team to examine the presentation, content structure and usability of the materials before making a purchasing decision. Reviewing samples can help determine whether the resources suit your trainers, learners and preferred delivery approach before you purchase RTO materials.
