This assessment should be completed with a client from your field placement (if you are not in field, you may use a volunteer, past client, movie, book character).

Use the outline format on the assignment guide; you should address each letter and number on the outline even if the area is not applicable to your client. Include headers/subheaders for each section. An eco-map must be attached to your paper that reflects the systems and barriers the client is navigating. This is completed in section 5 and on a separate page.
The goals you create must be focused on gain instead of deficits. When writing goals, consider the content you have learned throughout the course. You are encouraged to emphasize strengths and person in the environment.

Stay in one tense while writing goals and make sure they are in complete sentences.

The paper should be double-spaced and a maximum of 12 pages. 5 points will be deducted if paper goes over the 12 page limit (title page and reference list are not included in page count).
