STEP 8: Crafting your parenting case study.
The current case study involves a child with significant learning disability ADHD who is 13 years old and from a middle-class socioeconomic status background. The child has a 10-year-old and 6-year-old sister/brother with no known learning disabilities or behavioral issues. Biological Parents separated before the child’s birth, but the mother has been married since the child was six months old step-father was actively involved in the child’s life since the child was six months old. The biological father is not actively involved with the child. A parenting action plan; will be developed to address the child’s emotional distress and issues in school. I will discuss the case in the context of an emotional and school plan, providing solutions that may include counseling to address absent biological father and a school plan providing an IEP, and a 504 plan to help the child with schoolwork regarding learning disabilities and ADHD.
