Client/Group progress summary	Arrived to find Sharon in a wheelchair in the hallway wheeling herself and eating two cookies; 180 degree turn from our assessment; she was feeling good and in good spirits; she was alert and communicative; Once she transferred from the wheelchair to the bed (by herself!), her energy level dropped significantly.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I was able to pick up on the subtle changes in Sharon's mood, breath and energetic level and adapt and guide the session for the best experience and outcome. Once I noticed it was difficult for her to speak I began to read a book I picked out - it turned out she was not into it nor was I - we laughed and she spoke about her family and how she feels about God. She said she is enjoying my visits and said that she feels a connection with me. I feel so much peace in her presence.
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.
Plan for next session	pick a better book 🙂 - just in case.
