Invitation skills include good eye contact, soft smiles, and appearing open to the client. I notice also that in one of my triads, the counselor assigned the client a homework assignment. This is considered a goal setting skill. I will be working on that because it is an excellent idea to keep the client thinking about what they need to do to improve. In all of my triads, we were all motivational and helpful to one another.
In my assessment concerning the professionalism of Mrs. Perez, she is a character with a gift in counseling that makes her appropriate for a counseling job particularly the one that deals with women. Her counseling changes live and she has been able to assist many women to change for the better. From my experience with her, I feel like this is the best career for me and I have to pursue it by any means. The method through which she approaches things is the best and can be of significant help to many women with similar problems.
How would the requirements and responsibilities change based on career stage? Rivera, (2014) wrote that mentoring improves productivity; it supports your own abilities by strengthening lessons you’ve already acquired; it helps others identify their own talents; and it builds self-confidence. A nurse seeking for a mentor to assist her in developing a strong career trajectory in their area of specialty, the mentor should be willing to accept this role. This is a voluntary relationship. Also seek an informal mentor for each area of expertise that the nurse want to develop or explore.
With my situation with Chantelle, I wanted to make sure experience at Volunteering Matters an experience worthwhile. As she was known as the “selective mute” I had to go down to her level and start communicating with her by asking simple questions such as “How are you?” “Are you in college?” “What are you studying?” and making a conversation from there. When I would speak to her, I would make sure I was fully engaged.
I am interested in occupational therapy, or OT, because I love the idea of helping people be able to live their lives again. This love was nurtured by my mother who was a nurse. Unfortunately, I have a hard time with blood. This job has less exposure to blood, but still is within the same realms of nursing. Occupational therapy interests me because it is like solving a puzzle.
I believe that if a therapist was supposed to come and help my family with whatever problem there is, it will be successful. In the book, it states that relatively recent research related to common factors that cut across approaches focuses on how effective therapists bring "successful" models to life( blow et al 2007 pg341). I feel as though in most cases that is true. The therapist is most effective when among other behaviors they are able to build an alliance and engage with clients, great sense of hope, which I feel as that every individual or family needs, and the expectation of positive outcome. This motivate one another to have a better behavior, which will be

I would use this theory to focus on positives in her life currently, from the fact that she has a job and a high school diploma, which is a good thing, but also that opportunity is out there for her to better herself and her situation. It’s key for me to build JB’s self-awareness in this aspect by having her focus on her successes instead of her shortcomings. Strengths based theory teaches learned optimism, JB must learn to focus on the things that can and are going right in her life presently. I would also utilize Solution focused therapy with JB. Its clear from our talk that JB knows where she wants to be in life, and what she needs to do to get there, but now it’s a case of action.
Working with exceptional children is a demanding career, to avoid becoming overwhelmed and exhausted I must remember to maintain a balance, and structure both at work and at home. I will stay serious about educating students and their needs, and yet not forgetting to have fun and smile. Another great technique I learned from Ms. Preston is model-lead-test approach. What is meant by learning disability and what are some of

By listening this will make a child feel valued and heard.
