CESP Exam Dumps : Certified Employment Support Professional (CESP)

An assistive technology tool is any device, software, or equipment that helps people work around their challenges and achieve their goals1. A visual task list is an example of an assistive technology tool that can help employees with cognitive disabilities, learning disabilities, or attention deficits to organize their tasks, prioritize their work, and stay focused23. The other options are not correct because:

• An individualized education plan (IEP) is a document that outlines the special education and related services that a student with a disability will receive in school4. It is not relevant to the workplace setting.
• A workplace accommodation is any change in the work environment or in the way things are customarily done that enables an individual with a disability to enjoy equal employment opportunities5. A visual task list may be considered a workplace accommodation if it is provided by the employer to enable the employee to perform the essential functions of the job, but it is not the only example of a workplace accommodation.
• A task analysis is a process of breaking down a complex task into smaller, manageable steps that can be taught to the learner6. A visual task list may be based on a task analysis, but it is not the same thing. A task analysis is a method of instruction, while a visual task list is a tool for self-management. References:

The APSE ethical guidelines are a set of principles and practices that professionals in supported employment should follow to promote services consistent with human dignity1. One of the core values of APSE is that employment should be an option for any person interested in working, regardless of label, support need, or perceived functioning level1. Therefore, the statement that individuals with severe disabilities are unemployable is NOT an APSE ethical guideline, but rathera misconception that contradicts the APSE vision of inclusive communities where everyone works2. References: 1: APSE Ethical Guidelines for Professionals in Supported Employment 2: APSE Mission and Vision Statement

 The LEAST appropriate way to proceed is to coach her how to quit the job in a professional manner. This would imply that she is not capable of working in that environment and that there are no other options to help her succeed. It would also undermine her self-confidence and career goals. A better approach would be to explore the possible accommodations and supports that could make her job more manageable and enjoyable. You could also visit her office and identify how she can create more order in her workload, such as prioritizing tasks, using a planner, or delegating responsibilities. You could also talk to her support team about ways to cope with her anxiety, such as relaxation techniques, counseling, or medication. References:
