Scenario-

You are a social work intern at a community mental health center. Your supervisor assigns you to meet a single parent and their 4-year-old son at the family’s home for their initial intake assessment.

The daycare provider also noted potential developmental delays in language and social development. Although the single parent is a voluntary client, the client was initially ambivalent about meeting with you. At the initial home visit, you observe the child eating pieces of paint from the wall.

Propose at least 2 goals for the client that are specific, measurable, action-oriented, realistic, and timely (SMART). In 7 – 10 pages, you will (1) identify the client’s presenting problem(s); (2) identify and explain the process and rationale for proposing 2 SMART goals; (3) identify and describe at least 2 objectives or steps for each goal; and (4) describe quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods for monitoring and evaluating progress for each goal.

In some cultures, a siesta is the norm; in other cultures, people are expected to remain awake all day. Other cultures may emphasize practices that lead to sleep deprivation, such as working long hours, socializing until late at night, and getting up early in the morning. What attitudes does your culture have toward sleep?
