Written Report Case Study

Chris is a 24-year-old man who has down syndrome. He lives with his parents who are ageing and does not have many friends his own age. He would like to become independent and move into a group home.

When he was younger, he liked playing sports such as cricket and soccer but he has not played since he left school. His family has contacted Martin a support worker, from a local agency. When Martin meets Chris, he finds that he is quiet and appears lonely and says he wants to mix with people his own age. Chris’s eyes light up when Martin talks about soccer and cricket.

Questions:

1. How could Martin approach his work with Chris in ways that would reflect current theories and philosophies for working with people with disability (at least 2)? In your answer explain what is meant by each theory or philosophy and illustrate your answer with an example from the case study. 
2. What appropriate communication techniques could Martin use to engage Chris in identifying his personal goals?
3. Given the information you have about Chris identify 4 appropriate learning goals for him?
4. What skills would Chris need to develop in order to meet those goals? 
5. Identify a range of learning strategies that would assist Chris to meet those goals?
6. How could Martin ensure that he is working in ways that are motivating, empowering and respectful?

 

 

7. Identify relevant others who might be involved in the implementation of Chris’s individualized plan? Outline briefly why they would need to be involved and how you might involve them?
