Hi Everyone!
Joey Sanchez-
a. Being that Joey is four years of age, born testing positive for crack cocaine, he should be receiving some sort of support from state aide. Social services are aware of his mother’s addiction and have placed him in the custody of his grandparents who are Mexican natives. If Joey is not exceeding in the norm of his developmental stages, I feel that it would be social services to keep up on Joey’s developmental progression. In my opinion, Joey should be in a pre-school program. The developmental milestone for Joey’s age are that he should be able to know all the letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make. He should be able to identify the difference between and word and a sentence and know that you read from left to right, and be able to pay attention to detail and retell stories, but every child, especially Joey, develops in their own unique ways.
b. Being born with an addiction to crack cocaine, could definitely delay his physical, emotional and intellectual development. Joey has experienced so much for a child of his age. The loss of his mother, growing up in an environment where there is a language barrier, the effects of his addition as an infant; these factor can all have an effect on Joey’s wellbeing. It would be normal for Joey to have a stronger attachment towards the family in which he is living with.
c. As a social worker, I would consider all that Joey has been through since infantry. I would definitely be want to know if he is /or may be experiencing developmental delays. I would first have him tested by a neurologist. This would be the only concrete way I would know if there is any damage to the brain due to his mother’s addition. I would also make sure that his grandparents, Uncle Alejandro, as well as his mother, were included in the initial consultation. This would further me to understand the current wellbeing of Joey.
d. Alejandro is a definite strength I see as a positive influence in little Joey’s life. Beside his grandparents, Joey spends a lot of quality time with his uncle. Alejandro is very intelligent, and he may be able to pick up on certain developmental concerns with Joey that his parents cannot comprehend due to their different cultural backgrounds.
Thank you for listening. ~Renée
