TO PREPARE
Review the Learning Resources on social work practice with children and on ecomaps.
Access the Social Work Case Studies media and navigate to Claudia. As you explore the case, consider the various assessments you would use to gain a comprehensive understanding.
BY DAY 3
Explain the importance of using multiple evidence-based tools (including quantitative, open-ended, and ecologically focused) to assess Claudia. Explain how each complements the other in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the young client’s concerns and situation. Then, describe the use of an ecomap in assessment and explain the different systems you would account for in your assessment of Claudia.
