This research investigates how dual disability (a person with a dual disability has a developmental disability - intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorders - and a mental illness) could be represented on screen to facilitate a psychiatric assessment. Studies show that individuals on the autism spectrum respond most effectively when behavior is modelled. This research used workshops, role play and dramaturgy to develop a communication design outcome that would inform and prepare a consumer (the receiver of mental health services) for a dual disability assessment.
Most videos developed for the mental health assessment sector have low production values (e.g. performance, setting, screenplay) and are aimed at educating the clinician instead of informing the consumer.
This video is now used by VDDS (Victorian Dual Disability Service) clinicians in Victoria who perform approximately 200 assessments per year.
