I Work With People With Disabilities

I have a new client this morning and my notes say to beware of violent outbursts and aggressive behaviour. Only on Mondays. 😔

I understand where you are coming from. I worked over 20 years with developmentally disabled individuals, did everything from working in the homes, job coach, QMRP/Case Manager even administrator. I would be curious as to why the behavior occurs on Monday, and trying to figure out this one. I had a client before I was her Q, she had a goal at the workshop she had a quota and would get a token she could exchange for a pop, when she did not get the token she would scream, cuss, strip you name it. The workshop came up with an idea to give a token but if she had not met her quota it would have no pop and she would have outbursts at her unit instead of the walk home. I took over the case and immediately took away that modifier. It was obvious she just wanted a pop when she got off. That is normal life. So when she got home she got a pop to drink. As far as finding another job, I understand that part too, They are cutting back services that field is not like it use to be. Good luck in your search.
Only on Mondays because that is the day I work with him. He drinks a lot of Coke which can make him mean. We will work at trying to reduce it. @Trenchycoat

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 perhaps caffeine free like Coke Zero. But if you tried to take my caffeine away from me, then I would get mean lol. Good luck

thanks for your service
Thank you. I really love this area of work, but I may have to quit due to it being a little unstable. I need more full time work now. @Newandimproved
