Who decides the number and complexity of tasks assigned during a CBSA?

• A. The job seeker
• B. The client family
• C. The supervisor and/or job coach
• D. The federal agency

Answer: (C)

In a Community-Based Situational Assessment, the people who design and guide the exercise—the supervisor and/or job coach—decide how many tasks to include and how complex each one should be. They tailor the task load and difficulty to match the job seeker’s current abilities, safety needs, and learning pace, so the assessment accurately reflects what the person can handle and how they might progress with appropriate supports. The job seeker can share preferences and interests, and family members may provide support, but the professional in charge holds the responsibility for structuring and adjusting the tasks. The federal agency sets overarching guidelines, not the day-to-day task plan.
