SLOs: 3, 4 Learning objectives: The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate an understanding and application of assessment and planning in generalist practice. Create a case vignette in which you will broadly describe the situation for one client (system). The case can be drawn from your practicum setting, previous employment experience, the literature or be hypothetical. Once the case vignette is created, describe and apply the various stages of assessment and the steps of the planning process to the client’s situation.
Length: 10 pages
Description of assignment:
Section 1 – Case Vignette
Section 2 – Provide an overall definition and description of the following areas of assessment and then apply them to your case.
● Problem foci (problems client is facing)
● Sources of data assessment (from whom are you getting your information)
● Assessment measures (tools used to assess problem presence, intensity, etc)
Section 3 – Describe the following steps of planning and then utilize them with your case vignette
● Prioritizing the problems (which problem will you address first? Then?)
● Establishing goals
● Specifying objectives (steps to meeting goals)
Throughout the paper, highlight the importance/impact of
● Factors of oppression
● Client strengths and cultural factors
● Ethical dilemmas and their resolution
Each paper should include an appendix with one assessment tool used with the client, an actual assessment form, and a sample contract/service plan between the worker and the client. While the case vignette does not require any additional references, information on assessment, planning, factors of oppression, strengths theory and cultural components require appropriate citations (5-10 references).
