Person-Centered Goals Case Study
Essay Instructions:
For this assignment, you will choose a client summary which includes the communication diagnosis of a client,
and a brief description of their communication challenges (client summaries provided on final page of this
document). You will complete a short case study (approximately 2 pages) which will include:
● A list of questions to ask your client and/or their caregiver during your initial interview
o Consider what we’ve discussed in class regarding person-centered care. Refer back to the ICF
model discussed in class and think about what you would like to know in terms of
communicative function, activities/participation, and environmental and personal factors. Think
about questions that will help you determine things like which aspects of impaired functioning
are impacting the client the most, how their activities and overall life participation have
changed, which of these changes are the most critical to your client. Note: You should not be
including assessment tasks in here (e.g., picture naming, reading, comprehension, etc.). This
is an interview, not a formal speech-language assessment.
● A short summary of the responses you received to these questions
o For this part, you’re going to be creative and use your imagination. How did your client and/or
their caregiver respond to these questions? What follow up questions did you ask to gain
additional information? This shouldn’t be a list or transcript, but rather a summary of the
information you gained from asking these questions.
● A set of 3-5 functional goals you design for your client
o Working together with your client and their family, determine what goals you would like to
address in therapy. When choosing goals, reflect on the information you received from the
client and their family as well as your own knowledge of communication based on what you’ve
learned in this course.
● A brief summary of your rationale for choosing these goals
o Why did you choose these goals? How will the achievement of these goals impact your client’s
participation in meaningful activities, their personal identity, and their roles and interactions
within their community?
