My IEP plan continues

My Strengths: Good sense of humor/quick wit; supportive family member; good friend; active, loves to travel,bike ride and try new things; attends weekly yoga class; homeowner; strong awareness of finances; enjoys learning new things, meeting new people and getting the most out of life and is good at my current job as an OT. I have a strong interest in health and wellness.

Problem Areas (PLAAFP):
1.  Trips and can potentially have a fall that leads to injury every millionth step; when tired it's every 500,000 steps.

2. When sad or mad speech slurs. Energy level also effects speech.

3. Has decreased ability to use a lateral key pinch which lead to several broken car keys ignition. All the locksmith's in town know of her!

4. Has increased muscle tone which cause spasms throughout the day and if stressed at night. This can cause sleep disturbances.

5.  At risk for injuries to joints/muscles/soft tissues. History of carpal tunnel, tense trigger points and bursitis in shoulder.

6. Right eye muscles have stopped working which increases fatigue and distractibility.

7. Easily distracted, especially when tired.  

8. Often feels overstimulated which leads to aggravation.

9. Wants to work hard and fit in everything life has to offer. But when fatigued distractions take over, procrastination occurs and there is an increase in stress.

Adverse Impact: Having a routine with appropriate amounts of sleep and rest will increase my productivity and decrease my stress levels. By having decreased stress the symptoms of CP will decrease.
