SOWK 494 SIGNATURE ASSIGNMENT PLO 7 – ASSESS INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, GROUPS, ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES Reynolds Assessment Competency 7: Assess Individuals, Families, Groups, Organizations, and Communities Social workers understand that assessment is an ongoing component of the dynamic and interactive process of social work practice with, and on behalf of, diverse individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Social workers understand theories of human behavior and the social environment, and critically evaluate and apply this knowledge in the assessment of diverse clients and constituencies, including individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Social workers understand methods of assessment with diverse clients and constituencies to advance practice effectiveness. Social workers recognize the implications of the larger practice context in the assessment process and value the importance of inter-professional collaboration in this process. Social workers understand how their personal experiences and affective reactions may affect their assessment and decision-making. Social workers:  Collect and organize data, and apply critical thinking to interpret information from clients and constituencies;  Apply knowledge of human behavior and the social environment, person-inenvironment, and other multidisciplinary theoretical frameworks in the analysis of assessment data from clients and constituencies;  Develop mutually agreed-on intervention goals and objectives based on the critical assessment of strengths, needs, and challenges within clients and constituencies; and  Select appropriate intervention strategies based on the assessment, research knowledge, and values and preferences of clients and constituencies. Vignette You are a social worker at a “congregate meal site” located in a Senior Citizens highrise apartment complex. Seniors from the community can come and receive a low-cost or free meal at this site. During lunch, one of residents introduces you to his friends Bill and Martha Reynolds, age 71 and 65 respectively - and asks if you can help them. Bill & Martha SOWK 494 SIGNATURE ASSIGNMENT PLO 7 – ASSESS INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, GROUPS, ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES used to live in Las Vegas and Bill retired seven years ago. Martha was a volunteer for the local elementary school prior to Bill retiring. Four months ago, Martha had a small stroke and was hospitalized. She was then transferred to a rehab program where she stayed for two months. When she was released to their home, she continued receiving home nursing and physical therapy two times a week to help her get stronger. She was doing great and those services were scheduled to end this week. Then late last week their home, into which they have sunk all of their life savings, was destroyed by a freak desert tornado. They did not have homeowners insurance that covers tornados. So they have come to live in your local area. They are staying in a close by motel and are on the waiting list for the complex. The wait list is 6-8 months. Bill and Martha have no children and spend most of his retirement travelling, entertaining friends and enjoying their home. They both have Medicare insurance and Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan. Between them they receive a total of about $2,100 from Social Security “the third of every month.” But they have almost nothing in the bank now, because they’ve been paying for gasoline, restaurant meals, and motels. Martha needs a refill for an expensive medicine she takes to prevent another stroke, but none of the pharmacies here will accept her insurance without approval from their insurance provider, who is out-of-state. The Reynolds are currently awaiting approval from a local health care provider so they don’t have to pay for the medicine out of pocket, but haven’t yet established residency. Bill relates to you, “I feel so bad. We never imagined things could go so wrong. We’ve worked hard all of our lives and we’ve got nothing to show for it. I don’t even know where we’re going to sleep tonight. I feel like I’ve totally let my Martha down. Here we are homeless, broke, and begging for a handout. I don’t know what to do anymore.” Bill breaks down and begins to cry. Questions 1.

Personal development is essential in defining better concepts that describe significant
factors that are critical in improving individual development. It is necessary to understand the
benefits of personal growth in creating a profoundly transformed personal and professional
wellbeing. Personal growth plays a vital role in improving an individual ability to realize their
abilities through self-actualization (Colla et al., 2015). Individual development is based on the
ability to meet individual needs. Based on the Vignette, Bill and Martha have many challenges
which must be met to have their lives on a better pattern. Different stages of human development
integrate different characteristics which help in improving individual development. Each stage is
dependent on the previous stages which help in creating a well-engaged environment where it is
possible to make a better determination. Thus, the case presents a very critical situation where it
is possible to understand essential elements that define the development process of both Martha
and Bill.
Stage of development according to Erik Erikson's Psycho-social Developmental Stages
Erickson provided a critical understanding of human development focusing on
psychosocial elements which define individual wellbeing. The concepts that are evaluated by Erik
Erickson include personal character, behavior, personality, and level of social interaction. The
different personalities highlight the different level of development. The social environment is
essential in creating a better focus on better concepts that define positive development. Human
development is a process which integrates different elements which contribute to greater individual
development. Erickson provided a focus on various stages of human development which outline
specific characteristics among individuals who are within a given stage (Arnold, 2017).
However, even though age has been used as a significant factor in developing these stages,
individuals have a different level of development which outlines better processes that def...
