DESCRIPTION OF INDIVIDUAL: The individual communicates with limited verbal ability, often using 2–5-word phrases along with gestures, facial expressions, and sounds to express needs and feelings. He is independent in mobility, toileting, and eating, needing no assistive devices or equipment. When confronted or feeling a lack of control, he may become agitated and has occasionally engaged in physical outbursts or property damage, though this has not happened recently. He responds well to calm voices and positive redirection. Struggling with OCD, he fixates on neighborhood events, such as the garbage truck passing by, and has difficulty leaving the house. He enjoys sitting outside when the weather is nice. His parents aim to transition him to HPC services and eventually move from the home, but they emphasize the need for consistent staff to ensure a smooth adjustment period for him. He has seizure approximately every 30 days for which he has a PRN medication, administered nasally.
