Out of those 6 things, I can confidently say I&rsquo;ve done&hellip; 1 and a half of them. It started to really stress me out seeing all the things I wasn&rsquo;t doing. So, I just decided to tackle one at a time. With time, I&rsquo;ll slowly build up my routine and find time for the other things I need and want to do. For now, I am putting my physical and mental health first and focusing on a more consistent sleep and workout schedule. Even if I just do a 30-minute yoga video somedays, I just want to get myself up and moving. Accomplishing that this week was my main goal. Setting &ldquo;smaller&rdquo; goals can often be more rewarding because they are achievable. What is your goal to incorporate into your free time for this week?<\/p><p>I am doing the same thing with extra projects I want to do at work. This week, I made word lists for one of my kiddos who needs extra practice and carryover. Next week, I&rsquo;ll pick another project so that I can really dedicate my time to it and make it quality work instead of rushing through 3-4 of my projects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9e34049 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9e34049\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8ba3179\" data-id=\"8ba3179\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f16d39c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f16d39c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">CFY Lesson 7.2: Different Patient Profiles<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1c7966c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1c7966c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4a37fec\" data-id=\"4a37fec\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-545fc59 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"545fc59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This week, I realize that we can have so many different profiles of people we serve. I knew this, of course, on the surface, but I feel much of my course work and work experiences focused more on serving people with more severe challenges. In my work, I have many people who are much more advanced, with areas of need that are harder to identify, but are still very much there. I think the same can go for the school system, where many students who still face challenges may not qualify for services. These are some of the students I am seeing now, and it&rsquo;s been a great challenge for me to figure out how I can make the appropriate level of goals and providing the best services for them. It is much easier to make goals when the deficits are clearer on the assessments we administer, but now I am working on being more nuanced in my observations and digging a little deeper.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bd30f54 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bd30f54\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f3907a3\" data-id=\"f3907a3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdb4dfe elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bdb4dfe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">CFY Lesson 8.1: Independence and Teamwork<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dfba6b2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dfba6b2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-87c26bc\" data-id=\"87c26bc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfcedb2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cfcedb2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As a person, I am very independent and always have been.

My coworker gave me this advice this week and it resonated with me. Some workplaces have more flexibility with goals and the plan of care, which is something I love about the field compared to graduate school. This isn&rsquo;t always the case, but I do like being able to have a little more leeway with goals versus a fixed hierarchy of goals. A hierarchy can be great in many situations, especially with a developmental delay where there are clear goals, but as you work with people with multiple or higher level needs, it can be better to make flexible goals. For example, you may focus on a self-advocacy goal, like &ldquo;XX will self-report situations of self-advocacy at least three times throughout the semester.&rdquo; This may not be the best goal I&rsquo;ve ever written, but it does leave room for self-advocacy to have many definitions and does allow it to be patient centered and is relatively easy to track. Did they do it, or not?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9077fbb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9077fbb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-add851a\" data-id=\"add851a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5bfc3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e5bfc3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">CFY Lesson 8.3 Assertiveness<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e8fbcb4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e8fbcb4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a8cca74\" data-id=\"a8cca74\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6137024 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6137024\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sometimes, as an SLP I do focus on making sure my patient is comfortable, especially working with the autistic population. However, sometimes I think I am accommodating a lot to their preferences, which can be due to inflexibility. I also want to be a person who challenges my patients, while also making the room a safe space for them. But, at the end of the day, they see me for 2 hours a week. Others they interact with may not be patient, lenient or respectful of their needs. I know I want to work on being more assertive and pushing my patients out of the comfort zone so they can succeed in their every day life and grow to be more independent.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-21dcfdd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"21dcfdd\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b266c9e\" data-id=\"b266c9e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6aedbff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6aedbff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Those are my CFY lessons from the last two weeks.
