CLIENT;
My client would would be a 7 year old half Native American and African American child. He has witnessed his parents divorce after being married for 10 years. Both parents are now remarried and trying to co-parent the best they can for the 6 year old and his 9 year old sister. My clients main problem is she feels lonely at times due to her dad whom she doesn’t live with only really talks to the sister. He’s also having problems adjusting to separate lives from his mother and father. The child is new to the area and school. He can’t find his way and struggles with making friends because a lot of people are mean to him he says. So while at school he’s getting picked on and then at home his father doesn’t talk to him much so he feels lonely everywhere he goes and isolates himself.
Barriers:
Even though these programs are good and beneficial to my client, most of them require an adult intervention for example, during the application, the client needs the parents to make the call and acquire the application form. This poses a threat as many parents are not willing to admit that they have neglected their roles and will not agree to seek these opportunities for their child.
The child might also face eligibility challenges as an argument can be posed that he has both parents who take care of him and hence no solid reason for the organization to intervene. All these are possibilities that may jeopardize the success of the client in his quest to seek the services of this organization.
