CLIENT DESCRIPTION:
This individual is generally a happy and friendly male in his mid 30’s, who is independent in most ADLs, though he does require some assistance in the shower. He is working to be independent post BM as he currently requests help. He enjoys NASCAR, listening to music, visiting Guitar Center, playing music, dancing, walking at the park or rail trail, having long conversations. He likes talking to his Grandmother who lives near by, and enjoys going for a visit though he hasn’t been going as much as he’d like to. This individual has moderate intellectual disability (fetal alcohol syndrome and Global cerebral dysfunction). This individual has a peanut allergy, which requires an epi-pen. He had previously lived happily with his last provider for 8 years.
This individual is currently experiencing high anxiety from recent changes in his residence which has resulted in past behaviors arising. Individual has been frequenting local hospitals complaining of stomach pain or just becoming obsessive about returning to the hospital. He has recently resorted to walking in the road, approaching strangers to call the police or ambulance, ignoring prompts and redirects to return home or leave the road. The individual will refuse to comply until EMS arrives. Team members have had to restrain the individual to prevent injury to themselves by staying in the road. While restrained, the individual will attempt to strike or bite the staff holding them until they tire.
