"I prefer to work on a multidisciplinary team if the situation calls for it. The more members of the team the more support it shows to the client. My goal is to show the client that they are not alone and sometimes my support isn't enough."

Your answer to this question will be important to relay to the interviewer that you have been a member of a multi-disciplinary team. Explain your communication style with these fellow professionals. How do you document your interactions with medical professionals? Use this question as your opportunity to tell about a situation where you had to involve one of these members in order to help your client succeed."‹

"I had been working with a client for the past 6 months and started to notice that they weren't their self. I contacted their Dr. and explained the symptoms I was noticing. Come to find out that the client needed a change in their medication and hadn't relayed that to their Dr. By reaching out to the clients Dr. I was able to help the client become healthier personally as well as improve our work interactions."

Yes
This is an area I need to improve on. Legal guardians who too severely limit the lives of ppl w/disabilities irritate me. I must get better at accepting their boundaries.

Yes, at times I have needed to involve family, doctors, and other healthcare providers during my work with clients. Involving other stakeholders is an important aspect of this work, although sometimes it can feel a bit intimidating. I am willing to continue working on my communication and relationship-building in this area, so I can best meet the needs of my clients.
