Birkenmaier, J., & Berg-Weger, M. (2018). The practicum companion for social work: Integrating class and fieldwork (4th ed.). New York, NY: Pearson.

  • Each profession has a code of ethical principles that provides a base for practice. These codes usually focus on professionals’ responsibilities to those they serve, to the agencies for which they work, and to society at large. The National Association of Social Workers’ (NASW) Code of Ethics sets forth the values, principles, and standards to guide social workers’ conduct.
  • NASW adheres to broad ethical principles that are based on social work’s core values of service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence.
  • This week, consider how social work values and ethical principles inform your day-to-day skills development.
  • An explanation of organizational policy in your field education experience (one paragraph 200-250 words)

My agency is Agape Foundations, Inc, in Hampton, Virginia, USA. For the organizational policy, I am working on contacting other agencies to compile a comprehensive resource directory to include hospitals, social service agencies, housing, education, food, mental health agencies, and behavioral health facilities, also important numbers for healthcare, and child abuse, adult abuse, etc. Please incorporate this into the assignment.

Briefly describe a time-series design that you would use to investigate the impact of your intervention, and explain how you would collect and record the additional data. Be specific.

To Prepare

Imagine that you are a human and social services professional working with a child, Kaya, who is having some behavioral problems at her elementary school. As a scholar practitioner, you approach your work with her from an empirical standpoint and want to measure the effectiveness of your recommended services. To date, you have provided information about resources to the family and coordinated services for the child and family.

As such, you pose the following research question: “What impact do the services the child is currently receiving have on reducing off-task behavior, physical aggression, and verbal aggression for the identified child?”

For the purposes of this research, the target behaviors are as follows:

  1. Off-task: failure to maintain eye contact with task at hand for more than 3 consecutive seconds
  2. Physical Aggression: hitting/pushing/kicking peers/teachers, throwing objects
  3. Verbal Aggression: threatening, yelling

Consider the following observation report:

During the first observation period, which was conducted on Monday (in math class) between 11:20 and 11:30, 10-minute, 10-second, partial interval recording was used to assess the frequency of off-task behaviors, physical aggression, and verbal aggression. Kaya was observed to be off-task during 12% of the intervals observed, engaged in physical aggression 0% of the intervals observed, and engaged in verbal aggression 2% of the intervals observed.

During the second observation (during recess), which was conducted on Wednesday from 9:00 to 9:30, Kaya was observed to be off-task during 15% of the intervals observed, engaged in physical aggression 20% of the intervals observed, and engaged in verbal aggression 3% of the intervals observed.

Kaya was also observed on Friday from 10:30 to 10:40 during a group activity. Kaya was observed to be off-task during 20% of the intervals observed, was observed to engage in physical aggression 7% of the intervals observed, and was observed to engage in verbal aggression 10% of the intervals observed.

The Assignment (1–2 pages)

Based on the data, you determine that you must design a behavioral intervention for Kaya and determine if it is successful. As you begin the process of investigating your research question:

  • Select a method for graphically representing the provided data. Use the method to create a graph. (You can use Microsoft Excel or Word).
  • Analyze the data and provide a narrative description of your analysis.

Neurological Disorders/Case Studies

Prior to posting to this discussion, read Chapter 15 in the course text.  For this discussion I have picked:

This case is a 19-year-old male with 12 years of education who has worked in the field of construction successfully for the past 2 years. His girlfriend stated that he is often inattentive; she finds that he “spaces out” when they are talking and she frequently has to repeat information to him. He was involved in a car accident 6 months prior and sustained a very brief loss of consciousness, but his Glasgow Coma Scale at admission to the ED was 15/15. There was no evidence of pre- or post-traumatic amnesia

case study document and take on the role of the clinician. Review the patient’s symptoms and the available demographic and historical data.  Discuss your differential diagnosis and provide a thorough basis for any diagnoses you have included. Also discuss what (if any) additional testing you would order and how this would be helpful in clarifying the diagnosis. Finally, discuss recommendations for the patient/family for ongoing functioning (social, occupational and academic, if applicable). You must use a minimum of two peer-reviewed articles in your discussion to support your diagnostic conclusions.

 

Tasks:

Research the approaches used by the following family therapists:

  • Murray Bowen (Multigenerational Family Therapy)
  • Virginia Satir (Conjoint Family Therapy)
  • Jay Haley (Strategic Family Therapy)

Consider and describe which elements from each approach you are interested in and would consider incorporating into your own practice. Critique and discuss which elements from each approach you find incompatible with your personal style of helping and plan not to necessarily incorporate into your own practice.

Your final deliverable will be a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document. Utilize a minimum of three scholarly references. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. No Plagiarism APA format only
