OK, fellow classmates week 1 at the BOE IS5 in Elmhurst.
Did my first "evaluation" on a child...i put it in quotes b/c all the children are evaluated at the beginning of the year, so i was doing a mock eval. went well, a bit different than what we would formally see in a hospital or outpatient clinic. and it's long. but otherwise, we're seeing 3-4 kids a day, it's a bit slow b/c my CI discharged some patients during the year-but i'm keeping busy doing a lot of research, writing progress notes, reading IEP's etc.
Also, we have our own treatment room, unlike other fellow BOE'rs who probably have to treat wherever there is space. so that's a plus. got my inservice idea ready and approved by the CI and started my case study. I think these 6 weeks will fly by like nothing...wish i was doing 8 like some others
...hey, beats working and hopefully it will better prepare me for the interviews for the BOE scholarship coming this June.
Hope to hear from the rest of you.

Hi Everyone!
Hope you are all enjoying your BCE's as much as I am! Like Celvyn, I am doing a BOE clinical located at P.S.156 in the bx with their own therapy room. My CI and I are working well with each other and I've got to admit, I've learned a lot. Almost everything we've learned in our program thus far, esp. Linda and Debbie's class, has come back to taunt me including PNF, NDT, Neuro, Kines, MMT...but I'm lovin' it.
I have a review article presentation every friday (already did one - I spoke a little too fast though). I also have my case study and inservice to complete, just as the rest of us. I got my feet wet from day one with the chart reviews and observations. By day two, I did hands-on treatments and notes for my CI. I still find myself doing work at home. I have been on two trips so far, Bx Zoo and Special Olympics, to help/treat our kids.
Celvyn, you're right...this is going to fly by so fast we're gonna wish we had it longer. I really hope all is well and would like to hear how things are going with everyone else in the class...I kinda miss you all (strange, huh?).

hey guys, im doing well also, thank God. I am in PS 199 in manhattan and we also have our own therapy room. its a little small but thats ok. my CI is great. She shows me a lot of stuff and gives me a lot of freedom. She lets me plan my own activities and lets me think independlently. I am the only guys, we also have 4 OTS working with us, all females. The kids are great, some more involved than others. we see about 5-10 kids a day but we still have a lot of free time because some are always sick or absent. I started my eval on a young boy and I have to start working on my inservice, I feel like I have been there for a lot longer than 1 week. Hope everyone else is also doing well. Celvyn, thanks for opening up this site...Ivan
