The server i have chosen is Jake, he is eight years old and nine months. He attends his local
primary school and he is in year three. Jake lives in a three bed roomed house with his
mum Kim dad Scott along with his dog Tina and Jake himself. Jake needs to attend his
“special needs health association” three times a week every week just to help him with
school work and homework, s.n.h.a short for special needs health association.
Jake was born way way too early because his mom Kim had him at twenty month pregnant
which most babies normally get born at forty month pregnant. This had meant that he
hadn’t fully formed at that point. Kim and Jake where so so lucky and fortunate because
most babies that are born that early have problems and they may be exposed to death or
paralysed from waist downwards. He has always been a picky eater but just after his
dramatic birth he had major difficulties to eat sleep and drink and breathing and much
more of life’s essentials. Jake was kept in a baby incubator for nine and a half weeks in the
special baby care section at the hospital in Newcastle. Jake, after nearly ten crucial and
cruel weeks went home with all his loving and supporting family and friends. His mum
Kim and his dad Scott where always constantly looking over him but when Kim and Scott
had suddenly broken up that something wasn’t quite right. At the age of one when he
started a play school not play group to help him ready to go into the big wide world, jakes
parents and carers / helpers had noticed that something was wrong about his learning,
playing and how emotional he would get. Terry his helper from play school and Kim wrote
a letter to jakes GP saying that he would cry over stupid little things like a messy room or
not following a routine every day. Jakes parents, carers and helpers had also noticed that
Jake would get hurt really easily. They waited around about six months for a single reply
of his GP, eventually Scott got a phone call saying that he had got hurt easily because he
has brittle bones and he was premature. A week later Kim and Scott had a text of jakes GP
referring him to a clinic called “the academy of special needs health association”. Jake had
five tests and the first two was for brittle bones and depression, Jake further on down the
line had three other tests for symptoms that he had showed.
Because of jakes symptoms and conditions he has to some special needs that has to be
addressed to however he also has his everyday needs as every other human being does.
Physical needs
Some of the general physical needs that jake has to face every day life are;food water a roof
over his head balance diet shelter and personal hygiene.jake needs food to help him not to
starve, he will also need shelter for to sleep rest warmth but if he didn't have shelter water
he would start to be very ill and poorly.

2. if he did not get provided shelter by anyone he would end up with hyperthermia and
would be starving on the streets. he would need to be protected from people animals and
diseases.
intellectual
jake needs to go to school meet new friends and play.he is currently at primary school near
to newcastle upon tyne.he gets taught; literacy, mathematics, science, religious education,
physical education and modern foreign languages.he also gets told to be able to help out
other people to share play nicely and read and write if jake did not get educated .he would
not be able to do good payment jobs and jake might also get put into a too easy class or
way too difficult class.if jake had not of been able to go to school and play he would have a
good imagination and he could not be able to respond to any one if they wanted to be
friends or play a game. jake has been lucky enough to learn how to do all these things and
h can also express all of his emotions.
emotional
every one ha emotions and feelings. jake has fully developed most of his emotions and how
he can or is feeling. every adult and child needs love care self esteem courage and much
more. between the ages of four years old and eight years old jake experienced a whole new
world of happy too upsetting emotions and feelings jake olso very easily .found his own
personal way how to react and how to handle all of the feelings. he has had high and low
self images and self esteem.
social
Jakes social needs became more important as they were when he was a baby As Jake grew
older he felt as if he'd been getting left out and that he had been losing friends and he could
not tell anyone how he was feeling. If he had not attended school he would be without
friends and only would have his family to comfort him.
S.N.H.A
Jake has met all his specialised needs and the needs that everyone else can't do without. At
The Special Needs Health Association Clinic the abilities are cared for, a couple examples
are: people come to his school to help him with play time and doing work etcetera. there
are sometimes one two and even three helpers/ carers there at his primary school to help
him and to watch his attendance play and education.most of the time jake gets to skips his
p.e. session but he does is with other brittle boned people who are just like jake. every day
jake is allowed to come in thirty minutes early or late and he gets let out of school ever late
or early too.he only gets out at that time because he might get hurt of others by an accident.
