Completed 41 observation hours primarily with elementary school age-level, under fieldwork supervisor while observing client sessions, asking questions to expand my knowledge, discussing client goals and interventions, and participating in sessions as supervisor allowed. Toward the end of the observation hours, I assisted with creating and implementing client sessions with fieldwork supervisor's input and guidance; this included creating the "just-right challenge" for each client focusing on their individual goals, grading tasks based on performance, and adapting as necessary. Additionally, through this experience I observed the IEP development process from the occupational therapy lens and had the opportunity to sit in on IEP team meetings.
