Assessment Strategies
300-350 Word APA Discussion Topic: Assessment Strategies
At times, clients have multiple needs at once. Often one need is linked to many others; for example, if a client has no job, multiple problems are linked to unemployment. In addition, a client’s needs may not be exactly the ones that they identify as being most urgent. Thus, it is important to develop assessment skills that allow you to properly identify, prioritize, plan, implement, and evaluate multiple needs to implement an effective intervention plan. Use the course materials listed below that to answer the following questions on assessment procedures and strategies.
Create a short scenario of a client who needs assistance related to your chosen area of study. (If you are studying management, you can create a situation where a difficult client was referred to you.) Describe, in a paragraph, the situation and the assistance needed from your client. For example, your client might be an adult client with children that has been unemployed for 6 months.
Describe the process that you would use to assess and prioritize this client’s needs.
What interventions would you use to help this client to meet the needs identified in your assessment?
Use your assessment process to evaluate at least two of your classmate’s scenarios. What is the client’s most pressing need, how would you help the client to get service, and how would you assess your intervention?
Be sure to post a main, primary response and respond to at least two of your classmate’s responses. Use detail and citations from texts or other sources when appropriate.
