Hmm, placing him in a job without understanding his needs first? That's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. B is the way to go - get to know the individual and tailor services accordingly.

Haha, C is a bold move - just throwing him in the deep end to see if he can swim. Definitely not the way to go here. B is the clear winner in my opinion.

B for sure. We need to build trust and rapport, and that starts with open communication. The other options feel a bit impersonal or intrusive.

D is tempting, but reading a case file can miss important nuances. I agree with B - let's hear it straight from the source and get to know him as an individual.

I think the best option is B. Asking him directly about his background and desires is the most respectful and informative approach. We shouldn't make assumptions about his capabilities based on what others have said.
