協助有需要人士專業工作者

Humber’s Developmental Services Worker (DSW) 2-year diploma program teaches you skills to become a highly skilled professional who will effectively promote the physical, mental and emotional health of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across their lifespan.

Our faculty team consists of developmental services professionals who are active in the field, and our small class sizes allow for individualized attention. Our curriculum is designed with input from developmental services field experts, ensuring courses are current and relevant.

Your studies begin with an introduction to the developmental services sector and an overview of the types of developmental disabilities and the range of available community support services for this population. Next, you will learn about positive behaviour supports and intervention techniques (practising strategies with the use of simulation), person-centered planning, dual diagnosis, health and wellness, basic pharmacology, supporting people with autism and other complex needs, sign language and augmentative forms of communication, and effective responses to people who have experienced abuse. Finally, you will develop skills in building interpersonal relationships and problem-solving.

You will also build your expertise in our counselling labs which provide an ideal setting to develop competencies for working with individuals with limited verbal skills and through hands-on practice of health-care skills and medication administration. This program includes 600 hours of field experience.

The Developmental Services Worker program is also offered part time.

工学结合

我们的项目提供丰富多样的创新和传统机会，助您与实地工作建立联系。在项目期间，您将与成熟的社区合作伙伴一起，在发展服务领域完成600小时的实地体验。

学生将在第二学期每周两天进行为期14周的前200小时实地体验。在第4学期，学生将每周四天进行为期14周的400小时实地体验。这些机会由专门的实地实习协调员协助安排，通常为无薪。作为实地体验的一部分，学生将参加研讨会并完成课程作业。

重要提示：您的实地体验准备工作将于实习开始前一个学期开始。如需准备您的实地体验，请查看“进阶路径”信息图。在本文件中，第一个月指的是你的实地体验前学期的第一个月，第二个月指的是你的第二个实地体验前学期，以此类推。例如，如果你的实地体验学期安排在冬季学期，那么第一个月就是秋季学期的第一个月，即九月。

有关你的工学结合学习流程的详细信息，请参阅《FSCS工学结合学习手册》。
