Recommended: Effective communication in the work setting

This week during my internship the pace was a bit slow again. However, I learned a lot during this week. I talked to my supervisor about getting more hours and with his approval I am now doing 10 hours a week. It was great to be able to speak about my hours with my supervisor and that he understood me. During this week I had another one-on-one session with a client. I was instructed to show him a video about teenage strategies that lead to success then ask him questions about the video. I knew that my client was a juvenile, but as I walked into the room, I was surprised to see how young the client was. The client was a twelve-year-old boy that came into the program from sexual boundary issues. As I put the video in I read his file that informed me, he has not been participating …show more content…

One aspect I really disliked was that the silences made me really nervous and it led me to ask closed-ended questions. Even though I wrote down the questions I needed to ask before hand as open-ended questions when I actually said them to him I asked them as closed-ended questions. This led him to be able to answer my questions in one-word answers, which led to more silence. However, I was able to rephrase my questions and asked for more information when needed. At the end of the session I made sure to thank him for participating (the little that he did), because I could tell it was hard for him. Even though I was really nervous about working with a child it went okay and I felt like I received some new information from him. Another aspect of the internship, I liked this week was that I was able to do drug test training online and was able to receive a certificate. I will be able to put this on my resume and be able to use this in my future career. I will also be able to administer drug test on clients whenever needed. I actually really enjoyed doing the tests and found it really entertaining on a slow

  • Dual Behavior Summary

    1179 Words  | 3 Pages

    At the end of the previous school year, Carol, and her daughter’s teachers noticed that Carol’s daughter was not progressing in her studies, and an evaluation conducted by the child study team revealed that she had a specific learning disability. An IEP meeting was scheduled, and conducted. The determination was made to place Carol’s daughter in the same resource room as Carol’s client Jody, for half of the day. Carol instantly realized that this decision put her in a predicament where a dual relationship would be created. She would then cross a clear boundary, and become a parent of a classmate, as well as the professional she has already established herself as to Jody and her parents. This would undoubtedly lead to instances in which both her client, and the client’s family would be interacting with her at both school functions and on class trips. She knew that allowing this to happen was against the BACB Guidelines for Responsible Conduct for Behavior Analysts. Carol voiced her opposition and explained the ethical quandary to those attending the IEP meeting, and what would occur if her daughter was placed in the same room with her client. Carol stated that she would speak with her supervisor, but it was probable that he would determine that she would not be able to continue working with Jody. Carol felt that having to become accustomed to another behavior analyst

    My favorite part of the day was a woman thanked us over and over for relieving her sore tooth. It had a gapping wipe hole in it. We were able to see the pulp of her tooth.

I look forward to being in that position and having that doctor patient

    I feel that this Coop experience was a great way for me to reflect on my abilities to be a quality educator. I feel that I would have gotten more out of this Coop experience if our school year would have ended a little later, but overall, I think I received a lot from this time. My Coop was at my work at Head Start PDPY in North Platte. The center is a newly renovated room, so it is nice and clean with lots of storage space. Overall, I really enjoy working in the space because it is convenient and although it is small, we are able to make it work well.

    When we were first given this assignment I had not put much consideration into it. I thought we were to ask a couple of questions, it would all work itself out and I would be done. But this was not the case. The thought and reflection put into interview questions really surprised me. There was far more factors other than the questions you were asking, because you were also dealing with people, people who are giving you there free time, their attention and opening themselves up to you a stranger, so there were far more responsibilities then what were initially at hand.

  • Essay About Internship Experience

    1118 Words  | 3 Pages

    I was given the internship only being 20 years of age when in reality it was required that the intern be of 21 years or older. I learned the value of appreciating the opportunities I get in life and making a good first impression. For instance, in the beginning I was afraid to conduct a therapeutic group, but after the help of my two Youth Behavioral Specialists, who supervised me throughout my internship experience, I came into my "comfort" zone if I may say. As an intern, I understood that my internship experience helped cultivate my understanding of the differences in age, mentality, and the environment each child is exposed to that leads them to develop these moderate to profound acute psychiatric disorders. I also established that working in a school setting like the Children’s Home of Reading-Acute Partial Hospitalization Program was not the place for me. The reason for this was because I felt it was unfair to each child to not be able to get the clear, cut attention they deserve. For my next internship, what I’ve decided to do differently is to engage and interact more with my next Supervisor. In this internship, I did not have the opportunity to get to personally know my Supervisor because she was in meetings and/or intakes on existing or new clients etc. All I can do now is look forward to new experiences, new

As the sliding doors open, the strong aroma of coffee fills the air. I walk past the line at Starbucks and descend down the first flight of stairs. I turn left down the second hallway and enter room 0021. The pale, cream walls and clean whiteboard make the room appear brighter than it really is. Lovely, smiling faces welcome me as I sit down at the desk closest to the door. The clock now reads 5:30 p.m. It’s time to rebuild my faith and connect on a personal level with my fellow small group members.
