Cody is a 15 year old male in 10th grade. He is diagnosed with Mental Retardation and Williams Syndrome. Cody is a very outgoing boy and is very happy in social situations. He reads on a 4th grade level and functions on a 3rd grade math level. Cody has difficulty expressing his frustration with tasks in a socially appropriate manner. Cody exhibits outbursts, yelling, pushing books off his desk, non-compliance, or needs many prompts when he is asked to do his work. He feels frustrated and often yells at his aide. This happens in every class, but mostly in English when he is asked to read and in Math when he is to do independent work. My goal is to decrease this behavior and replace it with a more self- advocating behavior,

I have began noticing distinct mood changes in Branson Reeve. On his bad days, he results to isolating himself in his room and playing video games. On his happier days, he is social and engages with the family. Throughout this year, I have discovered that he is developed a conventional level of moral thinking. He has been extremely concerned on what is "fair" and "not fair" among specific people and incidents. During this time, I guide him in a positive direction by informing him of my morals and beliefs. At the end of the year, his final progress report arrived, which showed all "A's" and "B's". Branson Reeve's teachers recommended that he takes advanced math and science his eighth grade year.

My client, whom I will call “Jay,” is an eight-year-old, African-American boy, who was referred to our agency by his mother who wanted him to get “any services he could get for free.” He has some emotional and behavioral deficiencies, and does not handle stress well. He has frequent outbursts in class, and reacts without thinking. He needs to work on his interaction skills, and develop strategies that will help him use his words instead of physical reactions when he is frustrated. Because his trigger is frustration, he needs to learn to respond in a positive manner to his peers and teachers. Also, “Jay” needs to learn how to think and act independently.
