Essay Instructions: this paper is about a case study on a taiwanese family where one of the members has mild mental retardation. The specifics about the family is as follows:
CASE STUDY
The Hsiang family consists of Joseph Hsiang 56 years old(father), Helen Hsiang 53 years old (mother), Po-Sheng 23 years old (son, who has mild mental retardation) and Andy 19 years old (brother to Po-Sheng). The Hsiangs live in Arlington, Texas in a house they rent from a family friend. They used to live in a rented town home but were evicted due to Po-Sheng's problematic behaviors. Po-Sheng was also found trespassing in a neighbor's backyard. Police were called but charges were not filed. The Hsiang's recently emigrated from Taiwan two years ago and still haven't adjusted to the cultural life in US. The family came here because Helen's sister sponsored them. The family felt that Po-Sheng would be able to receive better services for people with mental retardation here than back in Taiwan. The Hsiangs speak Mandarin Chinese at home and have limited English speaking ability except for their son Andy who currently attends university. The language barrier has hindered the family's assimilating into the american culture. They have also been rather isolated due to the problems of trying to deal with Po-Sheng and him wanting to assert his independance by going outside by himself. The family fears that due to Po-Sheng's mental retardation, he can be taken advantage of and not fully understand the consequences of his actions if he were to get into trouble especially with the law. Po-Sheng refuses to believe there is anything wrong with him and cannot understand why his parents refuse to give him the same kind of freedom and independence they give to Po-Sheng's brother, Andy. Po-Sheng also has been diganosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Impulse Control Disorder due to his exposure to mecury poisoning when his mother was pregnant with him. Helen apparently at some fish tainted with mecury. The effects of mecury posioning have led to developmental delays with Po-Sheng and he was tested in the United States and had an IQ of 68 which meant he had mild mental retardation. Po-Sheng got behind in shcool in Taiwan partly because of his ADHD and mild mental retardation. He refuses to go to school here in the United States because he doesn't like the teachers and other kids make fun of him because of his poor English skills. He also thinks school is too loud. Po-Sheng constantly argues with his parents conerning what he can and cannot do and refuses to listen to them or do his chores. This results in communication problems within the family. As a result the self-worth and self-esteem of the family is very low. The family has sought help from the community mental retardation agency but because of their limited English and lack of knowledge about mental retardation, they feel frustrated and confused with the services. They are very skeptical of their relationship with social service agencies and other service providers because of the language barrier.
