Task Analysis We discussed in detail about the Job analysis. We saw
different tasks performed to complete a job. What are different parameters required for
performing each of the tasks efficiently? You need to have different qualities for
Threading the needle and kneading the flour. Each task calls for certain physical
requirements, education, training, intelligence, psychomotor coordination, decision making (Intelligence & experience) and so on…….
Analyzing & identifying the required parameters is task analysis.
Task analysis is the natural concomitant to job analysis.

Job AnalysisJob analysis is needed to decide on the exact
work tasks on which a disabled could be optimally employed.
Job analysis is one of the basic techniques for job identification or job development or client-oriented job.
A job may be defined as a collection of tasks performed by a worker in a single establishment
A task is defined as one activity that requires exertion of human effort - mental or physical - for a specific purpose.
An occupation (as we find in the National Classification of Occupations) is defined as a group of similar jobs found in various establishments. It may be pointed out that even though the It may be pointed out that even though the jobs may be similar there are different jobs may be similar there are different variables, which affect placement effort.variables, which affect placement effort.

What is a Trainer’s Role?
Job Identification Spend some time with
the actual person manning the job
Collect description from the HR
Differentiate between Duty & Job Description
Job contents should be recorded elaborately and should not be short, sketchy or vague
It should reflect exact nature of work
Instead of Job contents job title recorded
Record every activity of the Worker – What, How and Why
Use simple language Prepare job profile &
individual profileJob Profile – includes
– machinery, equipment, hand – tools etc used by the worker

grouping into Occupational clusters on the basis of similarity of tasks.
Identification of tools required and working conditions in
respect of each of the clusters Identification of the most representative functional skills
(Job analysis) for each of the occupational clusters. Devising samples of work tasks indicative of identified
skills Arranging the tasks from simple to complex Framing detailed instructions and illustrative drawings to
ensure objectivity in communication of instructions to the clients.

No job development program can be complete without the following information
Vocational fields and specific occupations within these fields
Local employment opportunities. Entrance level, knowledge skills and training Environmental conditions for particular occupations Wages, hours of work and perquisites. Nature of supervision Special hiring requirements Local laws governing employment and working
conditions. Opportunities for advancement. Community resources Community awareness for the cause and its
involvement

Job Market information is a corollary to job development work. It is a systematic collection and compilation of data relating
to: market trends, employer organizations, industrial and employer profile of the area,
with a view to guide the disabled worker and plan vocational and other training programs. Information relating to Institutions providing vocational and academic training at various levels, regulations relating to admission to these institutions should also form the content of the Job Market Information. Rules relating to sanction of financial assistance by different financial institutions and government agencies, availability of different voluntary organizations and their role in the placement or rehabilitation of the disabled is also to be compiled, though this information is not strictly related to jobs only.

Services for the Mentally retarded
The number of persons with mental retardation who have access to education or vocational training is insignificant.
As per the NSSO survey 866 out of 1000 are illiterate and 106 could reach primary education. (Total of 972 per thousand)
The issue of vocational rehabilitation is compounded by various factors of social acceptance, awareness, access and availability.
Vocational Rehabilitation Centres for Handicapped register persons with Mild Mental Retardation (IQ between 50 – 70)
The Vocational Rehabilitation Centres for the Handicapped registers the persons with disabilities and through a systematic evaluation procedure assess the physical, mental, social and vocational capacities and provide comprehensive rehabilitation assistance.
There are Twenty such Centres in the Country functioning for different periods of time. First VRC was established in 1968. .
The Special Employment Exchanges do not serve persons with mental retardation

Strategies for improving the rehabilitation of person with Mental
retardation Interaction of the
NGOs with the VRCs
Development of basic academic skills, money management, vocational skills such as work, work environment, work habits, employer relationships etc. and life skills
Skill development is concentrated in the areas of easily performable work tasks.
Emphasis is not generallygiven on the occupation butplacement to be arranged inthe operations and the worktasks involved such as:
Counting, reading, measure height, weight, simple messages
Cut across job and job activities, Tie knots, simple sorting by physical properties, cleaning, simple carpentry tools, sewing tools, use of money etc.

Preparing for VRPreparing for VR Job Training: Identify the job profile. Assess
the capacity and match the job to the individual. Train them to suit the job.
Training in Institute: Break down the job operations into simple work tasks, repeat the skill training constantly so that the person is able to recall the skill.
On-the-job training: To provide job orientation, names, locations, hours and wages, supervisor, other employees, work uniform etc.
Group Rehabilitation programs Development of basic skills for specific
employer requirements Setting up supported employment services
such as Cooperatives, Home bound employment and job specific sheltered employment involving the parents/guardians
jobanalysis & Skill analysis 21
Attitudes and Aspirations
A majority of the registered persons at most of the GO or NGO Centres are from middle or lower middle class and are also less educated or illiterate.
Almost none of them have
any marketable skill acceptable to an employer.
They do not have any special attitude towards a vocation.
The selection of occupation is influenced by the perceptions of the parents, their social status and self image rather than the abilities and aptitude of the individual.
A great amount of parent counseling in addition to educating them about the employment market situation was required to realistically plan a vocational rehabilitation program.
Another interesting aspect was that while there was no hesitation to accept secular occupations, there was definite refusal to accept caste-based occupations in some States such as Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat where some information is available.

How we do it?How we do it?The process of determining what to teach in what sequence to insure strident mastery of an objective. The produce is skill sequence. That is, the produce is a precise delineation of behavioural objective, the objective’s component skills and appropriate sequencing (easy to hard) of the component skills.
1. Identify what skill is required to be gained.2. Analyze that objective into its essential
component parts (I.e. movements, actions, or responses that, when taken cumulatively, constitute the objective)
3. Determine the entry level of the skill and specify the pre-requisite skills

Remedial programs Focus on diminishing or solving to a great
extent the issues faced by the MR Evaluation & continuous evaluation basic to
all remedial programs Programs should be individualized Depends on degree of disability/retardation Duration of inactivity, specific difficulties
noticed first, speed of change, attitude of client, parents, fear of activity
Should be within the clients capability but offer a challenge
Activities to be graded to increase the clients capability
Effort required and/ or the time spent on type of activity must increase.
Check lists and records should be maintained for future guidance
