Decision-Making Skills: Scenario 4

Your response Response example
Was this response problematic with regard to ethics, professionalism, or the client’s treatment program?

DEpends on if the child needed a 1:! for safety, then she should not have left the child. perhaps a walkie page or call to have a supervisor come to the classroom. Other than that I think she did well by advocating and when she was not heard, getting the right people involved to make sure the child’s plan was being run correctly.

No, the response indicated good judgement
When/how might feedback be delivered by the supervisor?

If the child needed a specific 1:!, the trainee should not have left the child to go to the office. If that was not an issue the trainee could be taught on chain of command and empower her to go to the right people with concerns.

The supervisor might praise the trainee for the response and explain the ways in which the situation could have worsened if she didn’t take action.
What types of additional training might improve this trainee’s performance?

Continued advocacy

The supervisor might initiate opportunities for the trainee to provide training to others. The supervisor can use modeling/rehearsal/feedback to prepare the trainee for training others.
