Simon, a 16-year-old male, has always performed adequately in school. This semester his math scores dropped from Bs to Fs, but his other grades have remained Bs. IQ testing with the WAIS-IV revealed that he has an average overall IQ without any major deficiencies. Do these normal findings provide useful diagnostic information? How so? What might be happening with Simon?

Identify the connection between a person’s attempt to solve a problem and the negative outcomes caused by the attempt. Once identified, steps can be taken to overcome them. The sole focus is on the problems determined and defined by the client(s), not identifying different problems that may be present (Fauchier & Margolin, 2004, para. 11-12). Reduce the person’s attempts to solve the problem(s) that are resulting in negative outcomes, and increase the tolerance of others involved (Fauchier & Margolin, 2004, para. 11-12).
