The CESP certification is based on the principles of individualized, integrated, and competitive employment for people with disabilities1. One of the core values of this approach is to promote the self-determination and empowerment of the individuals being supported2. This means that the employment support professionals should respect the preferences, choices, and goals of the individuals, and help them develop the skills and confidence to achieve their desired outcomes2.
The options A, B, and C are examples of reasonable supports that align with these principles. They provide Susan with visual, auditory, or human cues that can help her remember the sequence of her tasks, without interfering with her autonomy or productivity. They also allow her to use the tools or strategies that work best for her learning style and preferences. These supports can be faded over time as Susan becomes more familiar and comfortable with her job3.
The option D, however, is an example of an unreasonable support that violates these principles. It implies that the store manager does not trust Susan to perform her tasks correctly, and that he or she needs to monitor and control her every hour. This can undermine Susan's self-esteem, motivation, and satisfaction with her job. It can also create a negative or hostile relationship between Susan and her manager, and affect her integration and inclusion in the workplace. Moreover, it can be disruptive and inefficient for both Susan and the manager to have such frequent check-ins, especially if they interfere with their other duties or responsibilities. References:
