CASE STUDIES
Annie
Annie is eleven.
She is a bright, bubbly little girl of normal to high intelligence but she
is very small and almost confined to a wheelchair due to brittle bone
disease. She has attended a normal primary school until now and has
sat the transfer test. (N.I). However, despite achieving a suitable
grade for grammar school she has been refused entry because there is no
suitable access for her wheelchair.
During the summer she attends a special playscheme for disabled children and
their peers. She is inclined to form close relationships with her
carers due to needing someone to push her around at all times. She is
also beginning to go through puberty. She is inclined to attach
herself to the young male care assistants. |
