Essay to obtain the following from an Australian social worker perspective.

The essay is to be written about the service provision to Aboriginal children with intellectuality disability.

Maybe the ***** could look at more culturally appropriate service

Early intervention (child under 6years)

Look at department of human services for information and also Aboriginal community co-op that supply services.

Identify a problem which suggests a gap in service provision (actual or potential client groups are not receiving a service, or receiving a minimal service). Develop a proposal for a needs assessment, looking at how the problem will be addressed, so that there may be changes to existing services or the development of new services. Students are asked to include in their proposal how they will manage the process of designing and developing the new service(s) as emerging from the needs assessment.

The outline should include a brief introduction, identification of stakeholders, and a literature review of about six sources. Also, there should be a statement of the general focus of the proposal: is it an evaluation (formative or summative) or a needs assessment?. You should also briefly consider whether a quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods approach may be appropriate and why; methods of data generation (e.g. interviews, observation, etc) (and why); from who/where the required information may be obtained/accessed.

However, the outline does not have to cover any detailed work on the methodology or subsequent topics because you will not have had time to do the necessary work by the time the outline is to be submitted mid-semester. You are reminded that you have already covered these basic ideas in HSW 221 and if required, you may refer to the study materials for that unit as well as other resources
