Client/Group progress summary	Client progresses well mentally. He begins to accept his injury and explores outdoors activities with his current body and ability. He spends time together with his new friends like him and creating his own sangha. Client still needs guidance with pain management, energy management, work on minimizing distractions and enhancing focus/concentration.
Reflection and self-evaluation	My heart is overwhelmed with the client's progress. All the glory goes to God!
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.
