Week 4 Discussion Case Scenario<\/p>\n
Instructions:<\/p>\n
Use this case scenario to address this week\u2019s discussion board.<\/p>\n
SCENARIO: Proposed here is an example of a treatment conference in a diagnostic and<\/p>\n
treatment center for children with multiple physical and psychological disabilities. The<\/p>\n
client Timmy, 3, has severe cerebral palsy, a disability resulting from damage to the brain<\/p>\n
before, during, or shortly after birth that results in problems with muscular coordination<\/p>\n
and speech (Mish, 2008). Timmy has very little control of his extremities, torso, face, and<\/p>\n
mouth. He has some limited control of his eyes.<\/p>\n
After Timmy is referred for assessment, extensive testing is performed by speech,<\/p>\n
occupational, and physical therapists. A physician conducts a thorough physical<\/p>\n
examination and orders relevant tests. Sometimes, a geneticist is involved to establish the<\/p>\n
etiology of the disorder. However, Timmy experienced oxygen deprivation at birth due to<\/p>\n
the umbilical cord being wrapped around his neck. Since the etiology of the disability has<\/p>\n
been established, the program director, a physician, determines that a genetic assessment<\/p>\n
is unnecessary. A psychologist conducts perceptual and ability testing. Finally, a social<\/p>\n
worker carries out a family assessment.<\/p>\n
All evaluators subsequently attend the treatment conference. This particular group<\/p>\n
cannot be considered a team because it does not work together on a regular basis. For<\/p>\n
example, there are five occupational therapists and three social workers. The configuration<\/p>\n
of participants for any particular client varies dramatically as only one professional per<\/p>\n
discipline is involved with each case. During the treatment conference, participants share<\/p>\n
their findings and prepare a treatment plan. For children like Timmy, who require ongoing<\/p>\n
treatment and therapy, an annual treatment conference is automatically scheduled. Only<\/p>\n
those professionals involved in ongoing treatment attend later treatment conferences. For<\/p>\n
instance, a speech therapist would no longer be involved with the case if the child did not<\/p>\n
require speech therapy. Since Timmy has such extensive treatment needs, professionals<\/p>\n
from all disciplines will be involved in future conferences.<\/p>\n
This agency\u2019s policy is to exclude parents and clients from treatment conferences.<\/p>\n
Some agencies invite clients and\/or their families to attend such conferences. Other<\/p>\n
agencies invite clients and\/or families to attend only a designated portion of the conference.<\/p>\n
Some agencies such as the one providing services to Timmy indicate that having clients<\/p>\n
and other outsiders present interferes with the frank presentation of information about<\/p>\n
clients and their families. This agency\u2019s staff also feel that conference content may be too<\/p>\n
emotionally stressful for clients and their families to hear.<\/p>\n
Match the following types of groups with the respective descriptions:<\/p>\n
Type of Group<\/p>\n
1. Task groups<\/p>\n
2. Teams<\/p>\n
3. Treatment groups<\/p>\n
4. Delegate councils<\/p>\n
5. Support groups<\/p>\n
6. Boards of directors<\/p>\n
7. Educational groups<\/p>\n
8. Growth groups<\/p>\n
9. Administrative groups<\/p>\n
10. Treatment conferences<\/p>\n
11. Committees<\/p>\n
12. Socialization groups<\/p>\n
13. Social action groups<\/p>\n
14. Therapy groups<\/p>\n
15. Staff development groups<\/p>\n
_____ A. include various clusters of supervisors and managers who may be organized<\/p>\n
to maintain and improve agency functioning; they include staff such as<\/p>\n
supervisors, directors, managers, and department heads.<\/p>\n
_____ B. are groups of elected or appointed representatives from a series of agencies<\/p>\n
or units within a single agency who serve to achieve such goals as enhancing<\/p>\n
cooperation among professionals in different units or agencies, reviewing<\/p>\n
issues relevant to service provision, or pursuing social action goals<\/p>\n
(Toseland & Rivas, 2009).<\/p>\n
_____ C. are those aimed at expanding self-awareness, increasing self-potential, and<\/p>\n
maximizing optimal health and well-being.<\/p>\n
_____ D. help individuals solve personal problems, change unwanted behaviors, cope<\/p>\n
with stress, and improve group members\u2019 quality of life.<\/p>\n
_____ E. provide information to participants.<\/p>\n
_____ F. are groups of people authorized to formulate the organization\u2019s mission,<\/p>\n
objectives, and policies in addition to overseeing the organization\u2019s ongoing<\/p>\n
activities.<\/p>\n
_____ G. apply the principles of group dynamics to solve problems, develop<\/p>\n
innovative ideas, formulate plans, and achieve goals.<\/p>\n
_____ H. are groups of people \u201cdelegated to consider, investigate, take action on, or<\/p>\n
report on some matter\u201d (Mish, 2008, p. 250).<\/p>\n
_____ I. help participants improve interpersonal behavior, communication, and<\/p>\n
social skills so that they might better fit into their social environment.<\/p>\n
_____ J. are groups who meet to establish, monitor, and coordinate service plans on<\/p>\n
the behalf of a client system.<\/p>\n
_____ K. consist of participants who share common issues or problems and meet on<\/p>\n
an ongoing basis to cope with stress, give each other suggestions, provide<\/p>\n
encouragement, convey information, and furnish emotional support.<\/p>\n
_____ L. are groups of two or more people gathered together to work collaboratively<\/p>\n
and interdependently with each other to pursue a designated purpose.<\/p>\n
_____ M. are formed to engage in some planned change effort to shift power and<\/p>\n
resources in order to modify or improve aspects of their macro social or<\/p>\n
physical environment.<\/p>\n
_____ N. establish goals to improve, update, and refine workers\u2019 skills, the ultimate<\/p>\n
goal being to improve service to clients (Toseland & Rivas, 2009).<\/p>\n
_____ O. help members with serious psychological and emotional problems change<\/p>\n
their behavior; they are led by an expert whose emphasis is placed on<\/p>\n
\u201cRemediation and rehabilitation\u201d (Toseland & Rivas, 2009, p. 25).<\/p>\n
2. After matching, answer and respond to the following:<\/p>\n
a. What concepts in the definitions characterize each group and make that group unique?<\/p>\n
b. What are the similarities and differences among the groups?<\/p>\n
c. Describe an agency setting where each group might be appropriate. Give specific examples<\/p>\n
of the type of problems and clientele each group might include. (For example, a committee<\/p>\n
might be formed in a county social services agency to address how offices are spaced and<\/p>\n
allocated within the agency, or a therapy group for bulimics might be held at a community<\/p>\n
counseling center.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
