ANTI-RACIST SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE
A CASE THROUGH THE LENS OF AGE
Adultism refers to the oppression of young people by adults. The popular saying “children should be seen and not heard” is used as a way to remind children of their place and reaffirm adults’ power in the relationship. The saying suggests that children’s voices are not as important or as valid as an adult’s, and they should remain quiet. Children are often relegated to subordinate positions due to socially constructed beliefs about what they can or cannot accomplish or what they should or should not do; this, in turn, compromises youths’ self-determination.
How might the age of a client influence your social work practice? And, when working with youth, how would you avoid conveying an adultist perspective? In this Discussion, you practice engaging with an adolescent through a scenario. You then reflect on your actions and how you would adapt if the scenario were to involve an older client.
To prepare:
• Review the Learning Resources on age, ageism, and practice with older adults.
• Access and navigate through the Adolescent Case interactive video in the Learning Resources, selecting your responses as the session progresses.
• Reflect on the choices you made as a social worker engaging with the adolescent and consider how those choices may have been influenced by the age of the client.
BY DAY 3 (Please write out the sub headings)
Write a post in which you reflect on your experience engaging with the adolescent in the case.
• How did you approach the case, and how did the age of the client factor into your decision making?
• Then, imagine it was an older client (age 75 or above) in the same situation. How comfortable or uncomfortable would you be?
• Would your approach be different based on cultural norms related to age?
by day 6
Support your post with examples from the course text and any other resources used to respond to this Discussion. Demonstrate that you have completed the required readings, understand the material, and are able to apply the concepts. Include a full reference of resources at the bottom of the post.

JUST FOR YOU TO NOTE MY WRITER,
Instructors warning
It has become evident that a number of discussion posts and written submissions share significant similarities in tone, wording, structure, and content. This strongly suggests the use of AI-generated responses. While AI tools can be helpful in supporting the learning process, your submitted work must reflect your own voice, reasoning, and critical engagement with the course material. Any content—whether paraphrased or quoted directly—that originates from an AI tool must be properly cited.
As graduate-level students, you are expected to demonstrate advanced writing skills—including clarity, coherence, originality, and integration of the weekly Learning Resources. Submitting work that does not meet these standards, or that lacks evidence of personal reflection and academic engagement does not fulfill the expectations of this program.
Please note that moving forward, assignments or discussion posts that appear formulaic and/or overly reliant on external tools, rather than showcasing your own scholarly thinking and writing, will receive point deductions.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
