Reflection and self-evaluation	Cerebal palsy and the processing of the body and mind requires repetition and muscle memory in small steps and build upon each session. It is amazing from where she was to where she is and today the breath clicked. by beginning with an intended controlled breath for 5 minutes it gave her the memory to continue through her movement where she can often hold her breath because she is thinking about her form.
Final Client/Group Report	After seeing your client/group (for at least 4 sessions including interactive intake) Please remember practicum is a learning experience. You’ll learn more from sharing what’s accurate than from what might “look good”. Things you did well, not so well, problems and questions are all valid and useful tools to teach you. We can’t serve you to become the best clinician you can be if you don’t share your challenges and mistakes. Success is anything from which you learn. You can continue to add Session entries after submitting this Final Client/Group Report.
