Question: Critically analyse the policies and practices of Austalian Croatian Community in Victoria Australia and report on the consistencies between the principles and the service using Principle 6 of Wrights (1983). Directions would be helpful.

The active participation of the client in the planning and execution of the rehabilitation program is to be sought as fully as possible. Genuine respect for the client leads to the affirmation of the right, within very broad limits, to become actively engaged in the rehabilitation process and to make decisions that affect one's life. The client obviously also has information and ideas essential to rehabilitation progress that are not available to others. Among the foremost consequences of active involvement on one's own behalf are the enhancing of the person's self-respect, initiative, and responsibility for carrying out decisions. This principle requires that effort be made to determine the views of every client. Special effort will be necessary in those instances where a major problem of communication exists; for example, deafness, aphasia, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability and speech impairments.
