Yay last week of prac. Last week I unfortunately didn't have as many appointments had I would of like but I was able to photocopy a lot of the resources that they use at DSC and that one of the physio's there has put together. I went to two days of hydro, which was much the same as the weeks before. I saw a little boy would couldn't walk yet and was trialling a Sir David Brand walker. The boy still wasn't able to walk with the walker but his parent's were really pushing him too. My supervisor went through with me how to score the AIMS assessment, that I had done for my mid-place assessment. I was shown how to compare the score to the graph for that child's age and the child was very delayed in her development, much below those in the fifth percentile. This week, so far I have been to a meeting with the family to make goals for the next 6-12 months, with the physio, OT and speech present. The family had fostered the little girl and has only had her for about a month but it was so good to see how much she is part of their family and how much they are willing to do for her. This afternoon I went along to a podiatrist appointment with a client. The podiatrist is going to try some orthotics to help the clients pronated feet and help with his hyperextension of his knees.
My next few days look busy and I will be performing an assessment on a little girl with down syndrome for my final assessment on thursday.
