Case Study four $-$ Chad and James

Chad is a person with cerebral palsy. Chad lives alone and is visited once a week by James, a disability support worker. It is important to Chad to maintain an active lifestyle. One year ago, Chad and James worked together to develop an ongoing skill development plan that included Chad's learning objective of exercising for $30$ minutes per day. James sought specialist advice from an exercise physiologist and an occupational therapist to create an exercise program for Chad relative to his abilities. Chad's goals are to improve cardiovascular conditioning, increase strength, encourage flexibility, maintain a healthy body weight, and balance blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Not only does Chad walk for at least $30$ minutes per day, but he also attends aqua therapy classes twice a week.

In addition to his exercise program, Chad would like James to help him develop a balanced diet plan so he can spend every Monday preparing healthy, nutritious meals for the week. James tells Chad that he will organise a registered dietitian to help with meal planning, diets and food preparation tailored for Chad's needs and preferences.

Q$13$: Describe three reasons why James might need to review Chad's records in order to evaluate the effectiveness of his skill development plan.

Q$14$: What process could James follow to evaluate the effectiveness of Chad's ongoing skill development plan, use Chad's records and update the plan to meet Chad's changing needs?

Q$15$: Explain two types of ongoing skill development opportunities $($outside of formal training$)$ that James could identify for Chad.
