Week 1 @ Continuum pt.2

For the second half of week one, I spent my days shadowing the behavioral therapists at Continuum as they went about their day working with the kids there. For the most part, I observed and didn’t interact in the activities. I didn’t want to interrupt or be a distraction to the class. Towards the end of the week, however, I started talking more to the RBTs and getting to know them a bit better. I’d say I’ve gotten a lot more comfortable around the staff and students. The two boys that I babysat on Monday talked to me a lot and seem to have taken a liking to me. On Friday, I asked if I could learn a little bit more about the treatment plans of some of the kids. It’s been very interesting to learn about the goals for each kid and the plan for completing those goals. Next week, I think I will be helping to prepare materials for some activities and projects. I hope that I will be able to learn a little bit more about the administrative side of things. I want to know a little bit more about what goes on behind the scenes as far as communicating with parents and insurance.
