In the case of Jon2, the author Jane employed strong reasoning skills to assist in the proper diagnosis of the child. Initially, her responsibility was to evaluate the child’s motor skills and determine if Jon qualified for treatment at their facility. Jane’s evaluation included her own observations and measurements, but also the subjective observations given by Jon’s caretakers who could better-provided details on Jon’s history of treatment and daily activities. As a result of her detailed evaluation and note taking, Jane determined that Jon’s condition showed signs of abnormalities, but not consistent with stroke of cerebral palsy and needed further tests to support the hypothesis that there might be something else afflicting Jon. The fact that the caretakers kept mentioning Jon’s irritability increased when he began teething kept bothering Jane and …show more content…
Fortunately, Jon had a routine visit scheduled and the caretakers were able to press the doctors into reexamining Jon, but the doctors still maintained an egocentric diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Eventually, the correct diagnosis turned out to be a rare condition, adrenoleukodystrophy, that could have easily be overlooked by many medical clinicians. In the case of Jon, the doctor’s rush to diagnose and their over efficiency (Barrows & Pickell 1991, p.74)3 in their evaluation failed to adequately listen and search the information provided by the caretakers of Jon. Even though it was too late to adequately help Jon in this case, Jane’s reasoning skills were pivotal in establishing a new hypothesis for reexamining his condition. Jane was able to collect and assess information that was overlooked for 11 months by taking the adequate time to listen, look, and observe. Ultimately from the case of Jon, Jane has learned the valuable lesson of listening to develop a better approach to working with patient’s in the

The main purpose or mission of the Greenhill Community Center was to provide human service programs for learning, growth, and enrichment throughout life within an intergenerational setting. The mission seems to fill the need in the demographical setting of the location. The center is located in one of the poorest cities on the East Coast. In the textbook it states a mission as being “the reason an organization exists, and it must be the starting point for its planning.” (Worth, p.172) The mission of the center is very sound, but in the process of hiring a new director, I think the mission focus was lost. I saw a couple of incidences of “mission creep“ in the reading. (Worth, p.173) One being the focus the trustees put on not
The second choice for the alternative design for Dynacorp would be Functional / Product matrix of strategic design.

Many children await the day when they can be considered grown up. For them it represents a time where they possess more rights and privileges. However, for middle children which are between the ages of 7 through12 this time may seem more like a nightmare because it marks the time when they undergo physical and mental changes. These physical and mental changes have a major impact on their development. The subject in this scenario is a little boy named Mark who is being bullied at school by a group of older boys to the point that he has received bruises from the encounters. As a result, Mark dislikes going to school for the fear of being embarrassed or hurt and the looming threat of recurring bodily harm if he asks for help from the teachers. This situation has become so serious that Mark is barely eating and has withdrawn himself from his peers in efforts to avoid the boys who are bulling him. After examining the above scenario, this paper will explain Mark’s different issues based on signs of biosocial, cognitive and psychosocial development and discuss what should be done to help Mark succeed in his current situation based on research.
