-How many clients are you seeing daily? 

                  I am seeing 5 clients daily for 1 hour each.

-What are their diagnoses?

                Diagnoses are autism spectrum disorder, Trisomy 13, Cerebral Palsy, and other undiagnosed musculoskeletal/intellectual disorders.

-What is considered a full caseload for your facility? 

                 A full caseload for my fieldwork supervisor is 8 clients, who are seen 1-2x weekly. There are also 8 other clients on my supervisor's caseload who are seen on a monthly basis for consultation with their primary therapist.

-Discuss one strategy you are utilizing to help you work toward or maintain a full caseload.

                 In order to work toward a full caseload, I have begun planning treatment sessions with my supervisor for each of our clients and have started treating the clients with sensory processing disorders and autism spectrum disorder on my own.  For these clients, I have taken over all daily documentation duties.  I have also started doing some hands-on treatment with the clients who have a more involved musculoskeletal disorder with feedback/further instruction from my supervisor during the treatments.
