  1. Client Background and Baseline Functioning Levels

Name: Emily McClinton

DOB: 09.09.2018

Diagnoses: Autism Spectrum Disorder

Client Background and Baseline Functioning Levels:

Emily is a 6-year-old female who has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder—Emily currently lives with both her parents and her 4-year-old sister. Emily does not have any food aversions and is fully potty trained. She attends school and is currently in the 2nd grade. Emily struggles to pay attention during group activities and interacting with peers. When asked to do so, Emily engages in property destruction and runs away. Emily has difficulty recalling previous events, so reading comprehension at school is difficult. At home, her parents report that Emily has difficulty engaging with her sibling and will throw tantrums when having to do so. In fear of Emily hurting her sister, they remove her from the area, and Emily stops. Parents are finding themselves having to split and attend to their children separately. Emily struggles to share with her sister and engages in aggression towards her siblings and parents. 

Functioning levels—When observed, Emily did not engage with the peers around her. She would reference those around her, Emily would not ask her peers for needed items, and she would not tolerate them engaging in a different activity near her. Emily engaged in maladaptive behaviors to be removed from the area. During group activities, Emily repeatedly tried to leave the area; she could not sit still for longer than 30 seconds. When asked to recall a short story, Emily could not convey details from what was previously read.
