Care Coordination
Nick is seven years old. He has been demonstrating inappropriate behaviors in the homeroom class at school. At times he is not focused. He hums and makes other noises when he should be working on his homework. He disturbs other students by kicking the legs of their chairs. When the instructor tells him to stop, he does but then he starts back up. Sometimes he ends up in the principals office for a time out. He has been referred to the school Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO), who is acting as his key worker and has arranged a face-to-face meeting with Nicks parents. Nick participates in an after-school club three times a week, and for the two other days he is picked up by his child care worker who provides afterschool care services. The SENCO worker, acting as the central figure in his care, arranges and keeps records of all the meetings. She is the primary point of contact for the team involved in supporting Nick.
Answer the following questions:
You are the SENCO worker. Upon completion of the Assessment, you determine that Nick could benefit from having a service care team. You decide to put together this team to address his needs. Prepare a 3-5-page paper with APA formatting which answers the following. Discuss the agency/agencies, professionals, or individuals that you would contact, the skills that you would use when working with them and why these skills are beneficial? What preliminary suggestions do you have for care/service from each member of the team? Apply APA 7th edition
