IVET Sport & Rec: Deliver Rec Sessions - E4 Assessing Participants and Adjusting Your Plan

In this episode, Zali and Sarah discuss how leaders assess participant characteristics and capabilities on arrival through observation and questioning. They unpack the five participant considerations from the unit and share practical guidance on consulting sensitively and adjusting session plans. Key Takeaways: - Leaders assess participants through observation and questioning, then adjust the session plan as needed. - Five participant considerations: age, physical capabilities and medical conditions, experience level, older people, and people with disability. - Older people have specific physical, emotional, and motivational needs including fall prevention and social connection. - When working with people with disability, focus on capabilities and consult with the participant to identify needs and preferences. - Adjustments may be for individuals or the whole group, ensuring activities are challenging yet achievable.
