CESP Exam Dumps : Certified Employment Support Professional (CESP)

The APSE ethical guidelines are a set of principles and practices that professionals in supported employment should follow to promote services consistent with human dignity1. One of the core values of APSE is that employment should be an option for any person interested in working, regardless of label, support need, or perceived functioning level1. Therefore, the statement that individuals with severe disabilities are unemployable is NOT an APSE ethical guideline, but rathera misconception that contradicts the APSE vision of inclusive communities where everyone works2. References: 1: APSE Ethical Guidelines for Professionals in Supported Employment 2: APSE Mission and Vision Statement

 The LEAST appropriate response is to discuss this with him publicly so that his co-workers and manager know that you have addressed the concern. This would violate his right to privacy and dignity, and could also damage his relationships with his colleagues and employer. It could also increase his stress and anxiety, which could worsen his behavior. A better approach would be to speak with him privately and respectfully, and try to understand the reasons behind his rudeness. You could also observe him at work and provide feedback and support as needed. You could also ask the manager how she normally handles discipline with her employees and encourage her to treat him like everyone else, as long as it is fair and consistent. References:

The least appropriate statement to use in negotiating a position with a potential employer is option A. This statement does not follow the core values and principles of employment support, such as individualization, empowerment, and dignity. It focuses on the job-seeker’s disability rather than his abilities, and it suggests that the employer should create a position for him out of charity or pity, rather than based on his skills and the employer’s needs. This statement can also create a negative impression of the job-seeker as someone who needs special treatment or accommodation, rather than someone who can add value to the company.

The other statements are more appropriate than option A, for the following reasons:

• Option B: This statement follows the core values and principles of employment support, such as individualization, career development, and quality outcomes. It identifies the job-seeker’s skills and the employer’s needs, and it proposes a mutually beneficial solution that can increase the productivity and efficiency of the business. It also implies that the job-seeker can perform the basic office work without requiring significant modifications or supports.
• Option C: This statement follows the core values and principles of employment support, such as individualization, empowerment, and respect. It highlights the job-seeker’s work experience and education, and it expresses interest in exploring possible job opportunities in the business. It also shows professionalism and courtesy by asking for a scheduled time to discuss the matter, rather than imposing or demanding a meeting.
• Option D: This statement follows the core values and principles of employment support, such as individualization, career development, and quality outcomes. It identifies the job-seeker’s skills and the employer’s needs, and it offers a cost-effective solution that can reduce the overtime expenses and workload of the current workers. It also indicates that the job-seeker can perform the data entry tasks without requiring significant modifications or supports.
