I AM SO EXCITED. I was just given my first client at my field practicum. My research class requires that I follow a client (preferably in my field practicum) for the semester. I must develop a research tool and administer it weekly or twice weekly.
As I sat in a family/team meeting yesterday I was thinking about how much I would like to work with children. At the workday's end, my field instructor asked me if I would like to work with a child.
I am thrilled and look forward to the process.

T.J., I'm glad to hear that your field placement is moving along nicely. Working with your first client can be both exciting and a little scary!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda! And you are so right-- exciting and scary at the same time!
