Immediately contact your assigned supervisor for time options, if a time has not already been assigned. Check with the Clinical Director to see if there is a room available at the agreed upon time.
Contact your clients and/or families to check if the days and times are possible for them. If those days and times work, immediately confirm that that will be the client's schedule. If adjustments need to be made, ask for at least two alternatives. Check with your supervisor and the Clinical Director until you have agreed upon days, times, and room availability.
Once you have confirmed days, times, and room, sign up for a staffing with your supervisor. You may not begin therapy until you have staffed the client with the supervisor, received an approved lesson plan, and handed in a Clinical Verification Form.
Bring the client's file with you to the staffing.
Be prepared to discuss the client knowledgeably. Come with ideas about what you think you would like to do in therapy.
After the staffing, write a lesson plan and submit it to your supervisor. Also submit your Clinical Log Cover Sheet and the Clinical Verification Form. These should be submitted as soon as possible after your staffing, but no later than September 7th.
