Social Work Intern

• Sep 2014 - Apr 2015

During my time with the Catholic Charities Independent Living and Teen Parent program, I worked under the supervision of an experienced and licensed social worker to complete tasks relevant to helping manage her caseload and developing my skills as a social work student. I also managed my own modest case load through conducting one-on-one home visits with the clients in order to monitor their needs and progress with goals. In addition, I completed administrative assignments designed to improve the efficacy and efficiency of the provision of services for the clients. Specifically, I drafted and designed a new psychosocial assessment format given to youth upon their placement with the program. My role in the office and these assignments helped me to learn a great deal about the needs of youth transitioning out of the foster care system and about how to effectively provide services for these youth.

Applied Behavioral Analysis Technician

• Jun 2012 - Oct 2012

I learned a lot during my time at CSAAC, particularly developing skills in behavioral therapy for young children showing signs of Autism or other developmental issues. During my time in this role, I was trained in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapeutic techniques by experienced professionals. I administered ABA therapy to several young children (ages 2-3) as part of the Intensive Early Intervention program. Through regular ABA therapy administered by myself and other ABA technicians, these children were able to significantly improve their language and social skills. I also participated in the clinic meetings for each client to collaborate with the parents, supervisors, and psychiatrists to develop the best treatment plan for each child. Show less
