A key factor to most of the maladaptive behavior performed by individuals is the inability to get a message across for their wants and needs through language. A few of my clients were non-speaking when I first met them. Their way of communicating was by whining or directing their caregiver to the item he or she needed. Consequently, many of the client’s goals were focused on increasing communicative language. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend speech therapy with one of my clients. Being present in these therapies, I was able to learn certain techniques to increase language, as well as techniques for phonetics, to be able to understand the existing language the client had. On days the client did not have speech therapy, I implemented the programs into the in-home therapies to increase the exposure, in hopes for better results. I also utilized the skills I learned on the other non-speaking clients I worked with but, modified their usage to adapt to the necessity of each

Description of duties consisted of providing therapeutic interventions to children, adolescents, and their families as it relates encouraging and facilitating positive developments within the client's functioning within their community, school and household environment. As the client is entered into the OPT/TSF program, the goal is for the client to remain in the community with less intensive services.

Some symptoms include Jim’s lack of enthusiasm or interest in activities that previously brought him satisfaction, such as Jim’s excellence in school, as he eventually became uninterested in attending his college classes. Instead he would watch TV all day and not come out of his room. He believed he had “special powers” and that he could control the behavior of the characters on TV with his mind. As the book describes, this no longer was a feeling but Jim seriously concluded that he had underwent some type of transformation that gave him the ability to control peoples’ behaviors and feelings. This even caused him to stare at people in public to provoke such reactions. He also concluded that he was God like and contained a “life force” in his breathing, which only caused him to breath on people, because he had “heard” God’s angels tell him that he was now the Messiah. Jim also became paranoid that others were constantly talking about his powers and trying to take them, which caused him anxiety, and led to him leaving the house less and less. He also smoked marijuana in large quantities because “it reduces oxygen in the breath and that reduces its effect.” When his mother asked how he was, Jim could only mumble about angels and the life force, out of severe confusion. Jim hardly talked or socialized with anyone, and when he did, it was only with his family. He did not stick to his prescribed medication, and thus his hallucinations anxiety, and confusion only increased. These
