Wow, I still can't believe I've been on extern for 3 weeks now! It is such a different experience than working with clients at the university clinic. I LOVE IT! Everyone has been extremely nice and welcoming which has been great and the kids are adorable! Each day the kids make me laugh and I never know what they're going to do! In the beginning each day was such a whirlwind. I felt like every time I was starting to understand something I learned 3 new things! Now I'm getting in the flow of how everything works in the school and really getting to know the kids. It's been really great to see how a team approach works. The preschool has integrated classes, with OT's, PT's, Psychologists, and SLP's all working together with the classroom teacher and teacher aids. Each week the team meets about a different child and talks about how things are going and what else needs to be done or put in place for the child. I've realized how important it is to communicate with your team and really work together for each child. I can't wait to see how the rest of the semester goes!
