Date: August 20, 2013
Student Name: Darrin Wright
Subjective: Today I met with Ms. L a 35 year-old Hispanic single mother. Ms. L has a 3- year- old daughter, N who lives in foster care due to a history of being neglected by Ms L. The purpose of our meeting was to establish a contract with Ms. L to pick up her preschool daughter from the home of the foster patents and take Baby N to her home for weekend visits. Ms. L insists on a worker at our center arrange for pick-up and delivery of Baby N.
Observation/Objective data: Ms. L has no car, but the city bus will bring her within three blocks from the foster home and her income is enough to cover her bus fare. Records also indicate that Ms L receives a transportation stipend of $ 3.50 from our agency to pick up Baby N. In the past the foster parents have been willing to provide transportation for the child but have since stopped because they felt Ms. L was taking advantage of their kindness.
Assessment: Ms. L continues to depend unnecessarily on others. Giving in to her demands now may perpetuate the problem to do for the client what the client can do for self. Doing so would encourage continued dependency. Also, rewarding Ms. L’s demanding behavior reinforces the behavior and inhibits her ability to become a responsible parent.
Plan: In an effort to address this problem I will negotiate through the signing of a contract with Ms. L to take the bus on her own to pick up Baby N, beginning August 20, 2013 with the foster parents agreeing to drive baby N only in conditions of heavy rains or agency approved emergencies to Ms L’s home.
