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.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

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!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
