The Challenge
A lady with learning disabilities was displaying increased behaviours of concern at home. This was impacting on her wellbeing and ability to participate in functional activity. It was not possible to do a home visit due to lockdown restrictions.
The Change
Following discussing the situation with her mum, a mohost assessment was completed via a zoom call to observe the young lady participating in a craft activity supported by her family. This enabled me to gain a naturalistic assessment.
The Impact
Assessment identified that their desire to achieve an excellent end product, led family members to over support the lady. This was taking away her independence and causing frustration. Work can now commence with her family to aid their understanding.
