You will discuss your informal impressions of the clients environment, gather data about this environment, and share your general impressions of the data collected and how this information may affect the client and your work with him/her. Please complete all three sections outlined below. Part One: (1-2 pages) Begin by walking about the neighborhood/community where your client lives and where your agency is located; what do you observe? (If your client does not live in the community where your agency is located, you may study either community or both communities.)
