During my concentrated practicum, while underneath a Senior Clinical Case Worker, I learned how to and participated in:

• Create and update Individualized Treatment Plans, Treatment Objective Checklists, and Sexual Offender Treatment, Intervention, and Progress Scale.
• Looked into updated regulations, laws, and proposed laws for sexual offenders.

I worked as a technology agent, troubleshooting issues occurring with services people had with Spectrum.

While at L.I.F.E. I accompanied house visits, assisted with vaccination appointment scheduling, performed case work, and attended some social services related community meetings.

I performed office work such as filing information and making appointments.

I ensured the children were safe and did tasks such as driving them places, their laundry, and feeding them.
