Pathway to case plan



Freewrite…

Ok so this week we had to develop a case plan with an assessment.  We know I do this almost everyday for my work so it was not a far fetch to complete the assignment BUT I had a hard time developing a case plan that was not “cookie cutter”.  We are in a job to help families and no two families are alike.  I believe we need ALL resources available or resources need to be developed in order to adequately help a family or see the behavioral change we need to reunite or keep the family together.

Specifically with clients that are not high enough functioning to get “it” but are too high function for any services that may be offered in rural areas.   Which make it’s it difficult to see the desired behaviors we are striving for. 

It is difficult providing services to people with developmental delays in rural areas.  I think that is why I like Safety Organized Practice (SOP) formerly Signs of Safety (SOS) because you can pull in some of their natural supports into the case plan or to create safety in the home.   

Ok I am off my soap box now…

  1. It doesn't sound like a soap box to me. It sounds like there is just not enough resources for these types of people who fall in the cracks. Keep up the good work. You will find the resources for them.
