Andy Griffith Case Study

Andy Griffith is a 57 year old male who has been diagnosed with Guillian-Barre syndrome. His roles before his diagnoses included, acting, singing, and writing. He was also a husband and a father. He loved to spend time with his family in friends. On the year he was diagnosed he was suffering from an intense case of the flu. He was referred to OT with symptoms of muscular weakness, pain, and bouts of paralysis in both his legs and feet. Andy's primary goals were to return to acting and to land at least three jobs, and to be able to perform for at least 10 more years. His secondary goals were to manage feelings related to his diagnoses, and to work on leg muscle strength. Alexa did a great job of presenting the client's issues, and has a well rounded plan to give Andy the outcomes he desires.
