My first client

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.

  1. 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!

  2. Thanks, Linda! And you are so right-- exciting and scary at the same time!
