| 3 | Demonstrate the ability to communicate ideas regarding participation of people with disability, citizen advocacy and disability partnership using a variety of tools, media and strategies appropriate and accessible to the audience. |
| 4 | Demonstrate cultural competence through active engagement with one’s own and others’ world views about and experience of disability including “disablism”, “able-bodied privilege”, decolonising approaches, human rights and disabled person citizenship, commodification of disability, and inclusion and participation as cultural artifice. |
| 5 | Demonstrate competence in identifying and analysing individual and community problems and applying person-centred and/or community development approaches to enhancing the participation of people with disability as full citizens in their communities. |
| 6 | Work alone and in teams to identify intractable, obstinate or commonly encountered problems that create barriers to full participation of people with disability as citizens in their communities, and by asking new questions and using disciplinary and interdisciplinary research evidence and resources translate what is known into workable solutions or answerable questions for future research and action. |
| 7 | Work collaboratively and effectively in interdisciplinary teams develop action plans, and show how the plan would be implemented in context-relevant, collaborative and consultative ways with people who have disability, disability stakeholders and their communities. |
| 8 | Demonstrate awareness of strategies to keep up to date with research evidence, policy changes, ethical responsibilities, regulatory obligations and reporting mechanisms to prevent exploitation, safeguard people with disability, enhance partnership and maintain standards in disability support related activities. |
