I started seeing patients at the clinic for my program. Knowing this would be more time than I could add to my schedule I gave notice in February to leave my campus job. I enjoyed many things about working, but it was a lot of stress. I learned that I need to be very careful about falling into office drama.
My two patients are working on memory things and that is exciting to learn how to plan therapies. I have been interested in Music Intonation Therapy and I get to use it with one of my clients. All the paperwork involved with planning and documenting therapy sessions is a lot. So far I'm keeping my head above water.
I put in a lot of time working on creating a memory resource for my patient with Broca's Aphasia. I was telling P that I needed him to write 96% on a paper for me on doing this self assigned project so well. He wrote me a very nice card and even put one of his A+ shiny smiley face stickers on it.
Today I am flying to Jtown for a conference on Early Hearing Detection Intervention. My parent advocacy job is paying for me to go. P will drive down to Fl Monday with the kids. Wednesday they will come and pick me up. I can't believe how awesome the timing and location is for me to go on this trip. Yay!
On the flight in to Jtown a person in my row was also going to the conference so we shared a lyft to the hotel. When we got her I met several members sitting at various tables. It has been truely amazing. When I went to a conference in Atlanta for Language First it was fun, but I didn't know anyone. Here I already feel like I have 6 people I can hang out with. I even got the contact for the Early Intervention providers in Amerian Samoa. P told me to do a lot of networking and I'm definitely doing that.
