Case Study $1$

Jamal is Kevin's support worker and he's in the middle of a busy day. Kevin is a young person with physical disabilities who uses a wheelchair for mobility. He has just joined a wheelchair basketball team and is excited about the sport.

Just before lunch, Kevin shows up at Jamal's workplace with a basketball in hand, wanting to show Jamal what he's learnt. Although Kevin doesn't have an appointment, Jamal wants to support Kevin's new interest and expanding skills, so he lets Kevin show him a few moves in the parking lot while he eats lunch.

Kevin is thrilled with the speed and mobility of wheelchair basketball and has been practising highspeed spins, turns, catches and throws. In his excitement, Kevin doesn't notice a bump in the parking lot pavement and he falls. Although he only receives a minor scrape, Jamal realises that this isn't the best time or place to support Kevin's interest.

Before he leaves, Kevin gives Jamal a team shirt with his numbers on the back and invites him to his next game.
