On Monday, March 2nd from 4:00pm – 6:00pm I observed a client in the Nazareth College OT Clinic in Carrol Hall. The client that I observed this week is the same client that I have observed in the previous weeks. The client is a fourteen year old female with no current diagnosis. The client has difficulties with muscle tone and strength in her arms and possibly her legs and this is effecting her everyday life. In the evaluation, her mother expressed that she wanted her daughter to work on brushing her hair. Due to the low muscle tone and strength in the client’s arms, she cannot lift her arm up for more than a few seconds before it is fatigued. The client is small for her age and also speaks very quietly. During her appointment the senior OT students played some floor games with the …show more content…
First the client got comfortable with the swing sitting on top of it and pumping her legs to swing then hung off of the swing upside down using her arms and legs to hold her up. The major activity that we did with the swing involved the client sitting with the bolster between her legs. The therapist asked me to hand the client, a distance away from her and at different angles, different colored small fruit pieces then the client was asked to sort the different colored pieces into a dish that the other student was holding. The client was also asked to take the pieces with her right hand from me and cross over the midline to hand it to the other student. I believe that this activity was incredibly beneficial for the client because not only was it fun for the client, but it addressed many of the difficulties that the client is working toward improving on. By having the client reach for the pieces she was fully extending her arms as well as build up her endurance with holding her arms extended. Having the client cross the midline improves the bilateral
In this group there were no disruptive members. I filled the role of an observer, I offered feedback at the end of the session. The counselor filled the role of standard setter. There was an encourager, a harmonizer, an expediter, and a follower.
In this paper I will describe and analyze my experience working in a group situation, writing a paper on the movie 12 Angry Men. I will address therapeutic communication techniques used in our group situation. I will address any conflicts that arose in our group. Utilizing Tuckman’s group process theory, I will also address the effectiveness of our group process.

The researchers goal was to know if the effects of small-group reading interventions implemented positive behavior in support model, on elementary students that show any emotional and behavior disorders or that do not show any emotional and behavior disorders. The following are the research questions they addressed: (a) the differences in reading instruction in a general classroom for students at risk and to compare schools that combine behavior/reading risk. (b) differential effects with small-group instruction. (c) how do any of the observable differences translate to the outcome of students’ growth in reading.
2. This observation occurred between the OT and a child named Ian. Ian is 9 years old and does not have any specific diagnoses; the OT informed me that he just has minor cognitive delays as well as underdeveloped fine and gross motor skills. The OT also informed me that he was homeschooled by his mother. We were in the OT room and we were sitting at the table. We had just finished doing an obstacle course

Group work has been a cornerstone of the social work profession and requires a variety of facilitator skills and awareness of group processes. The SSLDTM Group Program for People with Difficulties in Social Situations (Socialwork1914, 2017) provides an excellent example of a psycho-educational group co-facilitated by two female social workers, Jane and Karen. After viewing the 6th session of this 8-week program, I began to understand how the concepts of group formation/development, interpersonal dynamics, and leadership styles contribute to successful group work outcomes.
This environment was important to my framing and understanding of the project because it forced me to identify a problem in my own approach and perception of the men. One of the elements I like best about this project was its dedication to including the people who know the most about these issues. I appreciate how important the SSYI member's feedback is the process for implementation and how this project is giving lived experience a seat at the table. However I guess I am very used to this method being praised but not practiced and therefore still hold some unfair and misconceptions about what it means to work with people 'on the ground'. I am not someone who believes that academic or formal knowledge is more important or worthy than lived
The next day it was Harry’s turn for detention, Penelope felt that the same faced him, so she offered him the healing cream. Harry of course declined the help, as his detention lasted a week, he wouldn’t be able to tell Umbridge how his wound already vanished. Harry even missed Gryffindor’s Quidditch try outs, where Ron was chosen as a keeper, he wasn’t nowhere near as good as Oliver was, but as the rest of the Weasley boys were great players, Penelope had faith that Ron will with some practise raise to the occasion too. Yet, the first team practise ended terrible.
Teamwork can be complex and challenging given task and interpersonal issues, level of group motivation and expected performance standards. The concrete experience spoken about in this reflection piece is in reference to the effectiveness of myself as a group member and the group, working to write a report outlining the organisation and structure of Volkswagen. Dennison (2009) applies Kolb’s learning cycle (1981, 1984) which suggests that learning moves through a continuous cycle, between having an experience, and then reflecting on that action. This cycle has been developed from Lewin’s (1951) model for experiential learning. Reflection termed by Boud, Keogh and Walker (1985) ‘is a forum of response to the learner to experience’(p. 18). On reflection, the early set group dynamics was a defining factor in the experience, and how the team conducted themselves throughout the task. Meyerson, Wick and Kramer (1996) note that ‘such rapidly converging groups require methods for developing “swift trust”’ (p. 8), which can explain why initial group dynamics are so important. I took on multiple team roles, including group leader, which could be translated into the team not performing collectively on a high level, however, I could view this as a personal ineffectiveness of my leadership style.
“Group work is a form of voluntary association of members benefiting from cooperative learning that enhances the total output of the activity than when done individually”.
I am Zeeshan Ali; I am working as a Computer teacher for Classes VI-X-M in Canal Side Boys Campus. I have done Masters in Computer Science (MCS) from Punjab University College of Information and Technology (PUCIT) Lahore. The students are the main focus of every teacher and our entire teaching efforts circle round our students to achieve the set targets. Effective Teaching includes many useful teaching strategies that a teacher chooses according to the requirement of his/her respective subject and topic as well. In result of my years of experience and as a Computer teacher I find Group Work as the most effective and fruitful technique at every level.
This assignment will aim to define what group work is, outline the history of group work, its advantages and disadvantages and the use of group for individuals suffering from ill mental health. The second part of this assignment will be a reflection that will outline the authors personal experience of participating in a group in the university setting and the challenges and growths associated with that. Human beings naturally form groups and are shaped by them. Usually beginning in the microcosm of the family and extending to larger societal and cultural groups.
