Dr. Groft has become a critical and invaluable team member for the Child Find West office since joining the team in August of 2016.

One of the most difficult tasks she has is being the first person to inform a family that their child is on the autism spectrum. She handles this with skill and caring. Dr. Groft connects with families and works hard to convey information in a manner they will understand whether that means technical language or plain English. Dr. Groft is a skilled assessor who establishes rapport, administers test tasks effectively in an age-appropriate fashion, and writes thorough and informative reports.

    Mr. Galavant Character Analysis

    Most nights when a restless Theo Galavant , a former marine, finally became somnolent he found himself back on the battlefields of Iraq. He would awake in a cold sweat, then struggle fruitless to return to sleep. Days were rarely better. Loud noises such as Car alarms shattered his nerves. Flashbacks came unexpectedly at the smallest triggers like a whiff of certain cleaning chemicals. Bar fights seemed unavoidable; he nearly attacked a man for not washing his hands in the bathroom. Desperate for sleep and relief, Mr.Galavant turned to bottles of alcohol to comfort him and to drown his woes in. One morning, his parents found him in the driveway slumped over the wheel of his car, the door wide open, wipers scraping back and forth. Another time, they found him curled in a fetal position in his closet. In denial of the obvious problem he had, it took his drunken driving causing the death of a 16-year-old cheerleader for Mr.Galavant to acknowledge the depth of his problem: His eight months at war had profoundly damaged his psyche.“I was trying to be the tough marine I was trained to be — not to talk about problems, not to cry,” said Mr. Galavant, who has since been diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress disorder. “I imprisoned myself in my own mind.(Alvarez par 1).

    Craig Gilner Character Analysis

    I have read two-thirds of, It's Kind of a Funny Story. I was supposed to stop at half way, but it is so good that I lost track of time. Craig Gilner is such an intense character with many difficulties trying to manage his stressful life. He has support from numerous people, including his family and his friends. One goal Craig is approaching, is to be a better Craig. Checking himself into the hospital for having suicidal tendencies was already a big step in trying to reach this goal. That shows how much he wants to change, when things could have very easily went a different way. The actions that Craig took that night when he called the suicide hot line demonstrates the kind of person he wants to be. Craig realizes that he needs to get better, which makes me think his motivation for completing this goal is fantasizing about how great his life is going to be when he…

    Mindset Dr. Dweck Character Analysis

    An individual possesses one of two mindsets: either the fixed mindset, or the growth mindset. In the former, someone believes that his talent and intelligence is present inside of him at birth. He is born either smart or dumb, and there is no use trying to get better at something that he is initially not skilled at. Furthermore, his success is a measure of how naturally good he is at something. To the latter, success is defined by his ability to face challenges and make mistakes. To a person with a growth mindset, failure is simply room for improvement. In Mindset, Dr. Dweck proves the existence of these two divergent systems of thought, and declares that everyone can alter their beliefs and acquire the growth mindset.…

    Character Analysis: Grendel

    Probably one of the greatest questions of the 19th century comes directly from John Gardner’s novel Grendel. Given a world with no inherent meaning, how should one live his or her life?

His actions are primitive and based around society’s acceptance throughout the novel.

    Character Analysis: Chris Mccandless

    Krakauer wrote that Chris McCandless was, "green, and he overestimated his resilience, but was sufficiently skilled to last for sixteen weeks on a little more than his wits and ten pounds of rice"(Krakauer 182). In this quote it seems that Krakauer thought that McCandless was well equipped with his skills, so that made moderately prepared to survive in any situation. I feel that McCandless was rather prepared, yet again he never could have been fully prepared for the unexpected. My opinion is that McCandless was vaguely aware of the struggles that he would encounter in the Alaskan wilderness such as his epiphany that "happiness is only real when shared" was realized when his body was dying of starvation. I believed that he found what he was…
