Case Study

Educational Psychology: Learning Disabilities Eight year old Jimmy is having difficulty learning, and he is showing specific problems in reading and math. Parents and teachers have worked together to try and understand what is happening. They have determined the problem is not the result of visual, hearing, or motor disabilities, mental retardation, emotional disorders, or environmental, cultural, or economic issues. Finally, after all of this is ruled out, Jimmy is classified as having two learning disabilities: dyslexia and dyscalculia.

Assignment – Week 5

As you learned in Week 1, for the Final Project, you will research one counseling intervention in relation to an identified mental health issue and apply your findings to a case study. This week, there are a number of decisions for you to make to solidify your project. You will complete Part I of the Final Project Worksheet.  The first step is to choose the case study that you plan to utilize in your project. You will notice that some case studies include more than one potential client. For example, in the case of Jim, the 14-year-old adolescent, you may opt to focus on the family or the teen. After you identify the case and choose the client, identify one presenting problem or mental health issue for counseling focus.

Now, put your counselor hat on. You have an identified client and a presenting problem. Where do you go from here? As a counselor, you have an ethical responsibility to provide competent practice. There is an expectation that you will utilize interventions that are supported with empirical research.  So, your next step is to identify an intervention that you would like to use with your client.  For your project, you will investigate current counseling research related to the intervention in order to make an informed decision about evidence-based practice. To launch your research, you will formulate a research question to guide your investigation.

Explain how this military assignment role exemplifies patriotism and how the historical nature of this assignment might influence patriotism

/in /by

Each military branch has protocols—types of ceremony and etiquette—that serve various purposes, including to commemorate particular events or to display respect to the nation, the president, or particular individuals. These protocols and ceremonial assignments have a rich history and a permanent place within military culture. They often promote and sustain feelings of patriotism that can also influence the identity of military personnel.

Think about how your knowledge of military assignments and their role in the development of patriotism and purpose of military personnel will add to your competence as a helping professional.

For this Discussion, you research a military assignment to learn more about how it relates to patriotism and identity development in the military. As you conduct your research, be sure to note the roles and ceremonial protocol within the assignment, as well as any interesting nuances that you discover.

Application: Therapeutic Relationships

A child’s or adolescent’s disruptive behaviors can be challenging for a counselor. Disruptive behaviors can interrupt the counseling process, and they often signify the existence of emotions a child or adolescent is unable to express verbally. Some prospective child and adolescent counselors may be ill-equipped to manage disruptive behaviors or recognize that the behaviors are symptomatic of an issue or disorder. This lack of knowledge may elicit a non-therapeutic response from a counselor, which can damage the development of a therapeutic relationship. A therapeutic relationship is vital in order to counsel children and adolescents effectively.

For this Application Assignment, review the Disruptive Behaviors media and select a particular child or adolescent with a disruptive behavior. Consider how the counselor developed and inhibited the therapeutic relationship with the child or adolescent during the counseling sessions.

The assignment (3–5 pages) is in two parts:

· Select one child or adolescent with a disruptive behavior reflected in the media.

Part One

· Critically analyze the less effective counseling session with the child or adolescent with the disruptive behavior you selected.

· Explain one goal the counselor was attempting to accomplish in the counseling approach and why.

· Explain one way this counseling approach is less effective and why.

· Explain one error the counselor made that inhibited the development of a therapeutic relationship and why.

Part Two

· Critically analyze the effective counseling session with the child or adolescent with the disruptive behavior you selected.

· Explain one goal the counselor was attempting to accomplish in the counseling approach and why.

· Explain one way the counseling approach was effective and why.

· Explain two skills the counselor possessed that promoted the development of a therapeutic relationship and why.

Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course.
