Case Study: Ben Grace and Diagnostic Procedures

This page introduces the second case study, focusing on Ben Grace, a 52-year-old man with Down syndrome and type 2 diabetes. It provides information about his condition and the diagnostic procedures relevant to his situation.

Definition: Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an extra chromosome during conception, resulting in mild to moderate intellectual disability and distinctive facial features.

The document explains that Ben Grace has a learning age of 8 and requires extra support with daily living tasks. It also provides an overview of type 2 diabetes, which Ben has been diagnosed with.

Vocabulary: Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder affecting the way the body processes glucose sugarsugar, often developing over time as the body becomes resistant to insulin.

The page begins to discuss diagnostic procedures for Ben's conditions but is cut off mid-sentence. However, it's clear that the focus is on the specific diagnostic approaches used for individuals with Down syndrome and type 2 diabetes.

Highlight: The combination of Down syndrome and type 2 diabetes in Ben's case underscores the importance of comprehensive diagnostic procedures and personalized care plans for individuals with multiple additional needs.

This section emphasizes the complexity of diagnosing and supporting individuals with multiple conditions, highlighting the need for specialized knowledge and tailored approaches in healthcare and social care settings.

Diagnostic Procedures for Additional Needs in Children and Adults

This page introduces Unit 12, which focuses on supporting individuals with additional needs. It explains the diagnostic procedures used to determine additional needs for both children and adults, using two case studies.

Definition: Paraplegia is a condition characterized by paralysis of the legs and lower body, often caused by significant spinal cord injury or brain injury.

The first case study discusses Rebecca, an 8-year-old girl who became a wheelchair user after a road traffic incident at age 5. She has paraplegia due to a fractured spine and requires one-to-one care for her physical disabilities.

Highlight: Rebecca attends a school for those with additional needs, where she has a dedicated teaching assistant and carer to support her throughout the day.

The document outlines several diagnostic procedures used to examine Rebecca's condition:

  1. Computed Tomography CTCT scan
  2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRIMRI
  3. X-ray

Vocabulary: CT scan uses a rotating X-ray tube and detectors to measure different body tissues, while MRI uses magnetic fields to produce strong images of the body's organs and bones.

The page also discusses the qualifications required for radiologist technologists and physiotherapists. For radiologists, the requirements include:

  • 5 GCSEs gradesACgrades A-C including English, math, and science
  • 2-3 A-levels
  • A degree approved by the Health and Care Professions Council HCPCHCPC

Example: A physiotherapist supporting Rebecca would need a minimum of 5 GCSEs gradeC/Level4orabovegrade C/Level 4 or above, a qualifying physiotherapy degree, and registration with the HCPC.

The document concludes by highlighting the positive and negative impacts of Rebecca's school placement on her development and future adaptation to new environments.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
