CESP Exam Dumps : Certified Employment Support Professional (CESP)

The LEAST appropriate FIRST step is to help her get a small business loan. This would be premature and risky, as it would involve committing to a financial obligation without having a clear and realistic business plan. It would also bypass the important steps of assessing her strengths, interests, needs, and goals, as well as researching the market and the feasibility of her business idea. The other options are more appropriate and helpful because:

• A. Visiting local businesses would help her to learn from other entrepreneurs, network with potential partners or customers, and identify the opportunities and challenges of running a business in her community.
• B. Determining her prior work experience would help her to evaluate her skills, knowledge, and abilities, as well as her areas of improvement and development. It would also help her to showcase her qualifications and achievements to potential investors or lenders.
• C. Learning why she wants to start her own business would help her to clarify her vision, mission, and values, as well as her motivation and passion. It would also help her to set realistic and attainable goals and objectives for her business. References:

it illustrates the universal design principle of equitable use, which means that the design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities1. A concrete sidewalk ramp is an example of a design that can benefit people with different mobility needs, such as wheelchair users, stroller users, or people with walkers. It provides the same means of access for all users, without segregating or stigmatizing anyone1.

Answer A is not correct, because it does not demonstrate a universal design principle, but rather an individual adaptation or accommodation. A head pointer is a specialized device that is not widely available or usable by most people. It does not meet the criteria of equitable use, flexibility in use, simple and intuitive use, perceptible information, tolerance for error, low physical effort, or size and space for approach and use1, which are the seven principles of universal design.

Answer B is not correct, because it does not show any specific design feature that is relevant to the universal design principles. Pushing carts in the parking lot is a job task that may or may not be accessible or usable by people with diverse abilities, depending on the design of the carts, the parking lot, and the store. It is not clear how this example relates to any of the universal design principles.

Answer D is not correct, because it is also an example of an individual adaptation or accommodation, not a universal design principle. A picture prompt list is a personalized tool that may help some people with cognitive disabilities, but it is not a design that is applicable or beneficial to all users. It does not meet the criteria of the universal design principles. References

This question belongs to Domain 2 Individualized Employment and Career Planning, which covers the skills and knowledge needed to assess the job seeker’s preferences, abilities, and goals, and to develop a customized employment plan based on the job seeker’s strengths andinterests1. One of the tasks in this domain is to review the job seeker’s information to identify the most important factors for successful employment2. In this case, the job seeker has a cognitive disability, which may affect her learning, memory, problem-solving, and communication skills3. She also has some specific preferences for her work environment, such as interacting with customers, working in a temperature-controlled setting, and avoiding working when it is dark outside. Based on these factors, the best fit for her would be a job that:

• Allows her to use her social skills and customer service abilities
• Provides a comfortable and consistent work environment
• Matches her preferred work hours and schedule

Among the four options given, only option D meets all these criteria. Cashiering at a retail store during the early afternoon would allow her to interact with customers, work in a temperature-controlled setting, and avoid working when it is dark outside. Option A, preparing food during morning hours, may not involve much customer interaction, and may expose her to varying temperatures and potential hazards in the kitchen. Option B, assisting customers at a plant nursery during the afternoon, may not be temperature-controlled, and may require working with plants and soil, which may not suit her preferences. Option C, filing and scanning documents in an office during lunch hours, may not offer enough customer interaction, and may be too short and irregular for her work hours.

Therefore, option D is the best fit for the job seeker, as it matches her preferences, abilities, and goals the most. References: 1: CESP Examination Content Outline - CESP 2: CESP Content Outline - CESP 3: Cognitive Disability - CDC
