tations. At this time, it seems appropriate that Jane be given the chance to work. She and I felt that it would help broaden her socialization and gain more independence. She feels confident and is supported by her family, as well as by her friends from the group home. I then found a job for her at a local shelter workshop where she carries supplies from the back to the front of the department, helps customers find supplies, and other odd jobs.Jane has been at the workshop for three weeks now and enjoys her job.

The supervisor agreed, but we needed to speak to the co-worker who was the incident take place. The co-worker said Jane was bringing out some supplies, tripped over the rug, and fell. She became nervous and frustrated, and she went after the man that was laughing at her. The co-worker then went over to remove Jane from the situation. I informed Jane’s parents of the situation and her mother mentioned that that happened when she went to school, which was the reason they removed her from the school system. I explained that I needed her cooperation in this matter...
