Question

University of St. Augustine Clinical Applications in Psychosocial and Community Settings Client Intervention Plan IV Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program: 'Taylor' You are an occupational therapist working for an adolescent intensive outpatient behavioral health program. You work alongside a team of three child and adolescent psychiatrists, three developmental psychologists, five marriage and family therapists (LMFT) and one social worker (LCSW). The team works closely with family units to help identify family roles, expectations and negative patterns while exploring the effects of behavioral or substance use in the family system. As the only occupational therapist on the team you have strived to create an atmosphere of trust and support for your adolescent clients (14-17 years old). You are known for supporting coping skills and communication through family-centered occupation-based intervention sessions. Yesterday you began the evaluation process with Taylor, a 15-year-old who identifies as transgender. Taylor would like to be addressed using the pronoun, 'they/them/theirs.' You learned from the team that Taylor was labeled with diagnoses of ADHD and generalized anxiety disorder six months ago. Today you met Taylors' family, which included their mother, stepfather and two younger brothers. During the family meeting, you found out that Taylor has been hospitalized twice over.
