Initial Assessment Summarization:

This section is the most critical part of the initial work with the individual. It is formulated as a succinct narrative statement that combines the theoretical and conceptual knowledge base about human behavior with data about the individual.

2. Relevant aspects of the individual’s bio-psycho-social-spiritual history that influence the existence or resolution of the problem.

Part 2: Practice I Individual Assessment: CONTRACT (25 points)

For the Contract, identify one Goal with at least two Objectives and two Action Steps per Goal. There can be flexible with the number of objectives and action steps defined as you individualize your contract to the individual’s situation. You can plan too little or too much, so remember to ‘start where the individual is’ and move from there in “baby steps.” Use the information in the “Understanding Generalist Practice” text to guide your goal-setting process.

Based on your assessment of the individual, discuss the broadly stated goals for social work services and how they derived from the individual’s problems. Give an explanation for how you chose your intervention strategy. Discuss each objective in such a way that they are specific and measurable. Next, describe what action steps are needed in order to work toward achievable objectives.
