After reviewing the plan and the assessment the client and I would discuss how to get the client to their desired goal and what resources would help. After that resources were provided and I would follow up with client and if plans need to be revised then that would be discussed. What I learned through this process is that revising is very common thing change for clients and us as social workers need to be flexible and understanding.
The fifth step is the evaluation process how is your client doing. Through our internship we were provided an evaluation scale to measure the client’s progress. This scale was very informative and was also used to get a baseline and post scale. In addition to this scale we also used a summery sheet here we would input if goal was achieved and it reflected the types of services provided to the client. Through this tool I could really see the results of the work I intended for the client. Through this evaluation I could understand what I missed or what I could do better next

There are numerous intervention services that are provided through schools namely, SENCo, Speech and Language Therapy, Social Workers and Educational Psychologists etc.…

    This time gave me an opportunity to undertake reflective listening through active listening which according to Rogers (1975) in his “client-centered” therapy argues that it encourages the client to share the information in more depth than if I was only asking directive questions. This enabled me to gain information when the client brought out the underlying issues including those that I had not thought about.

This method also left me with enough time to explore and diagnose the issue thus noting the new ways of approach to the…
