Sandy is a 32-year-old client of the community program where you work. She has a diagnosis of Down syndrome with cognitive delay. Sandy completes her own basic self-care tasks, simple meal preparation, and housekeeping. Her case manager asks you for a recommendation for a supported employment placement. What do you recommend?
  1. Cashier at Wal-Mart.
  2. A housekeeping position at a local hotel.
  3. Receptionist at the therapy clinic.
  4. Packaging parts at the sheltered workshop.
Explanation
Answer: B. You recommend a housekeeping position at the local hotel for Sandy. Since Sandy completes her own housekeeping tasks at home, you know that she is capable of completing the tasks required to work in housekeeping at the local hotel. Packaging parts at the sheltered workshop is below Sandy’s capabilities, while cashier and receptionist jobs involve tasks that Sandy cannot complete on her own.
