Case Studies: Support from Our Durham Team
Education
Female, 20’s: This client had an upcoming exam in a new location and was feeling anxious about it. MAIN assisted her in thinking of and requesting reasonable adjustments for her exam. Additionally, we helped her plan and adjust to her travels, easing her worries.
Employment
Male, 30’s: This client was struggling to accept and cope with proposed changes to his work rota. MAIN discussed reasonable adjustments and strategies to help him process the changes. He found it difficult to process all the information and felt overwhelmed. After his appointment, he felt better about the changes.
Male, 20’s: This client was experiencing stress at work. MAIN explored the reasons behind his stress and found it was related to sensory issues and working memory. We offered advice on reasonable adjustments and methods to manage task changes at work.
Family Health
Female, 30’s: This client had a bad experience at the hospital, where a doctor accused her of alcohol abuse and addiction. She explained that she was stimming in the waiting room due to high stress levels. MAIN provided her with a healthcare passport, which helped hospital staff understand her situation better.
Communication Profile
Female, 30’s: This client was nervous about going on holiday and worried about airport security, as she struggles to communicate when stressed. MAIN provided a communication profile to help convey her needs if she became unable to do so herself. This made her feel more confident while traveling.
Alert Card and Evidence Letters
Female, 50’s: This client was stressed about her PIP renewal. MAIN helped by writing an evidence letter detailing the struggles she faces in daily life due to being autistic. This support made her feel much better about the application process.
These case studies highlight the diverse support our Durham Team provides to help individuals navigate various challenges in education, employment, health, and daily life
