Institution:

Massasoit Community College

Subject:

Human Services

Description:

This course is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of the fundamental knowledge and skills needed for working effectively with people with mental retardation. The course has two components: students will work with developmentally challenged individuals in Department of Mental Retardation sites and attend a weekly on-campus seminar. The Community Support Skill Standards (national standards for Human Service workers) will be extensively reviewed, and students will be expected to develop a beginning level of skill in four of them. Students will keep journals and time logs to report on and enhance their performance and learning at their work sites. Regular reading and writing assignments will be included as part of the seminar. Learning methods will include guest lectures, videos, group discussions, and small group simulations. This course is limited to Urban Youth Program students selected for participation by Road to Responsibility. Work site placements will be determined by representatives from Road to Responsibility in conjunction with the Massasoit Coordinator.
