ABUSE AND NEGLECT 9. You provide support for Roberto, a man with a mild intellectual disability. While talking to him one day, he casually mentions that sometimes his sister (his fiduciary guardian) uses his SSI check to pay her rent. What is the most appropriate course of action to take? Call 911. Contact your agency’s designated investigator. File an incident report. Call Roberto’s sister to ask if the allegations are true.
ABUSE AND NEGLECT 16. Sarah is helping Kendra, a woman with a moderate intellectual disability, cook breakfast in the morning. Kendra attempts to touch the hot stove, and Sarah yells “Don’t touch that!” to her. Is this considered abuse? Yes, it is considered emotional/mental abuse because Sarah yelled at Kendra. No, it is not, because direct support staff never commit acts of abuse against people with IDD. Yes, it is considered disability-specific abuse because Kendra has an intellectual disability. No, it is not. Yelling is not ideal, but it is preventing Kendra from causing harm to herself.
ABUSE AND NEGELCT 2. If someone communicates with you about an incident of abuse and neglect, what is the best way to respond to the individual? Ask them what they did to cause the abuse or neglect.

CRITICAL THINKING CARE STUDY Calvin Saunders is a 4-year-old who lives with his single mom and 6-year-old brother, David. Calvin stays with his grandmother 2 days a week and with his father 3 days a week because his mother works full-time in a local grocery store. His BMI is 27 (overweight). Questions to be answer: 1. At preschool, Calvin pushes and shoves other children rather than plays well within them. What suggestion could you make to his mother to improve his social relationships? 2. Calvin speaks with broken fluency. His mother jokes, "lIf he yelled 'fire', we'd all burn to death before we understood him." She saw a movie where a king learned not to stutter by singing so, although it's expensive, she has enrolled Calvin in a boy's chorus. Is this her best approach to helping Calvin speak clearly? 3. Calvin's mother doesn't supervise Calvin or his older brother while they warm up snacks in the microwave. Is Calvin mature enough to do this independently?
