Traci’s background information about birth, her family and previous living situation was not available to review through the duration of the assessment. However, Traci’s care providers were available to give information about her transition and current living state. Traci is diagnosed as having Intellectual Disability. She was placed in Irene’s Care Home late 2014 as her previous care home abruptly shut down. Both care providers, Irene and Richard, described the transition for the first few weeks a little difficult for Traci. It was hard for her to adjust to the new home and routine. Richard says that because they wanted to be able to provide the best care for Traci, he wanted to make sure her health needs such as doctor’s appointments…

Manale’s cousin set up a meeting with a very knowledgeable woman who has worked with many different organizations. It was at this lunch meeting, and while sitting in the garden by the main entrance she heard a voice and looked up. For a moment she was in a trance.

I realize most people suffer, not from a lack of resources, but from a lack of skills to manage those resources. My interest is now primarily accounting and secondly information systems. Accounting because sound money management skill is one skill most people lack, yet it impacts our lives in the most pervasive and, sometimes, dramatic ways. In addition, I did very well in my accounting classes in high School and at North Seattle College. I’m considering Information Systems because computers…

Joseph Conrad was a man who grew up not having many friends. As a young child he had missed school quite a bit from illnesses (Kathleen Wilson 200). This made it hard to have close relationships with other children. He did however gain a love for literature and the sea from his father at a young age (www.notablebiographies.com). This is…
