Describe your efforts to collect, organize and interpret information about the client.  What are the client’s strengths and limitations? 

 

Your assessment should include a discussion of relevant issues of age, class, color, disability, ethnicity, family structure, gender, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex, stigma, and/or sexual orientation as applicable to your client.  Be sure that your discussion of diversity links well with the client and or client situation. 

Client situation- Child abuse and neglect due to parental behaviors such as alcoholisim 

About client: June is a 10-year-old girl who lives with her two parents in a small rental apartment in Texas. Her parents are reported alcoholics who are known for their perennial marital violence especially when drunk. June presents with signs of both physical and psychological abuse with visible scars alleged to have been inflicted by the father. The child seems malnourished as the result of neglect and rarely attends schools due to recurrent illness.

This is NOT a blow by blow discussion of “he said , she said”, but a summary of what the assessment  findings are.  This is what is expected when a client summary report is required.  See the example provided. attached below

The assessment section is important as it is the basis for the intervention and the evaluation sections.  If you have done a pre and posttest on a scale or assessment tool, that is what is reported in the evaluation section, not here.
