Douglas Turner is a fifteen-year-old boy with a severe stutter who suffers from ADHD and ADD. He is currently placed in special education. His family consists of a mother, aged 42, and a father, aged 47. They are African-American. Douglas and his family live in a two-bedroom apartment. Douglas' father works as a sales associate for a Jewlry company and the mother is a homemaker.
Interests
Douglas' current interests include Anime, he likes watching "Attack on Titan," music, he listens to a variety of pop and hip-hop artists, and baseball. Douglas mentioned he like being active and many of his interests revolve around focusing on many different things all the time so he keeps from getting bored. Douglas also enjoys making hand signals when he plays baseball in the outfield. Douglas refrains from things that are too repetitive as he quickly loses interest.
Initial Conversations
When first talking to Douglas and his mother, I found that Douglas had a hard time concentrating on one thing. His focus was best with things that were quick to absorb and easy to identify. He appeared friendly and outgoing, not shy or resistant, even with his severe stutter. His willingness to communicate as well as the support of the mother makes it so I was able to understand where his problems and weaknesses lied. Although he has some learning impairments, his willingness to cooperate is a strength I wanted to address in future conversations.

The main thing I wanted to focus on with him is understanding safety signs since he likes baseball and uses hand signals while playing the sport....

Self-awareness is a major key to promoting ergonomics in the workplace, because only through self-awareness can an individual realize that he or she is sitting, standing, moving, or working according to ergonomic principles.
