Today began with a trip to the middle school to meet with an assistive technology specialist that has been creating assignments for a student of mine on a specific classroom software program. I was there while the student's teachers came in to look at the assignments since the stuff was created from the material that the teachers gave the specialist. Overall it went well. It was interesting to see just what the finished products looked like but it still seems like it is a lot of work. My biggest contribution was running to find one of the tech people in the building to found out the address and port for the proxy server so that we could download something.
Following this, I met with two middle schoolers for counseling. It was not the most exciting or interested of my groups. One of the participants kept asking to go back to class.
I returned to the office to find a phone message from a parent that I had finally settled all the meeting arrangements for next Tuesday. The parent, after telling me that any day would be fine, informs me that the day that I chose is not fine...of course. So after much juggling, I finally arrange it for next Thursday. I spend a good portion of the rest of the day contacting all the parties involved and getting things changed around.
I also call two cognitive rehabilitation departments to gather some more information on neuropsychological evaluations. Amazingly, the doctors that I left messages for both call me back before I leave for work...within an hour of leaving my messages. I chalk this up to their being Ph. D. doctors and not M.D. doctors. I end the day by updating my boss about the information I've gathered.
