LESSON OBJECTIVE
Assessment Criteria AC 3.2 Discuss the potential impact of emerging developments on support for individuals with specific needs Below are questions pertaining to lesson 8. Please ensure to answer each question correctly. Alice Young is 88 years. A former Librarian, she lives on her own in a middle class community in a detached house. She is physically frail and has on recent occasions fallen and had been unable to get up. On one occasion she fell in the garden, on the second occasion she fell in the hallway and was able to attract the attention of a passer-by, by shouting, on a third occasion it was in the back of the house and it was sheer luck that her nephew David happened to be visiting the same day and found her lying helpless; David visits weekly. Alice has no other relatives in the area and she avoids contact with neighbours. She can be quite aggressive if neighbours approach her. The house is dirty and is in a state of very poor repair. David has tried on several occasions to persuade her to allow help in the home but she has adamantly refused. Adapted from Beckett, 2006 Question: 1. Select one emerging development and state how it may impact Alice Young’s situation.

One emerging development that may impact on Alice Young's situation is technology. This may impact on her drastically because it may help her to get around the house and tidy up a bit seeing that she does not like other people around. The use of a wheelchair may assist with this.

Ms Young being an 88 year old retiree should not be living on her own. In her situation there are several issues that instantly garnered a red light reaction.

The emerging development that i would select for Alice Young's situtation is Technology. Technology will impact Alice's situtation in a very positive way. By introducing this individual to a wheelchair it will be of such a benefit to her as it will enchance her to move around a bit safer and do household work as in dusting the furnitures.
