Case study 1: Malcolm Craig is an experienced HACC support worker. He was recently assigned to support Malcolm, who has an acquired brain injury (ABI). Four months ago, Malcolm was walking across a busy road and was hit by a car. Malcolm, who is in his mid-forties, had been a sales consultant for a telecommunications company, but now he is left with impaired mobility and speech function. Malcolm’s wife Alice works extra shifts in a clothing factory and much of the primary support role seems to be undertaken by the couple’s twelve year old son Ben. There isn’t any indication in the individualised support plan that Ben is the primary carer, but Craig is aware that Ben seems to be missing quite a lot of school and that he often seems tired. The family appears quite close, and Ben and his father seem to share an affectionate relationship.
