    For instance, relative to Rosa and Fernando a critique of the information received within the referral from the STTARS social worker before interacting with Rosa, would be useful in better understanding the families’ situation. Furthermore, an understanding of the client’s developmental stage would be useful in order to communicate effectively. More specifically, an understanding of Ana’s developmental stage would be helpful in better understanding her behaviour and advising Rosa, relative to her concerns. In addition, an understanding of some of the issues presented by Rosa in her referral information would be extremely useful. For instance, research on sleep issues relative to the concerns Rosa has risen, may be useful. Moreover, research which deciphers possible agencies which may assist Rosa in her sleeping issues may be useful to best assist the client and appease her concern for her health and her children. In addition, resources, which focus on issues within marriages, may also be useful in both better understanding Rosa and her relationship with Fernando. More specifically, it is thought that the sourcing of information which focuses on the strain both immigration, work commitments and children can impart on a marital relationship may be useful in better understanding Rosa.
