After the role play....I need to Learn How to work in a Group

 I am not really happy with it, feeling that everything was so awkward during the role play. I kept having the feeling like, Gosh, why is it going differently from what we have practiced and planned...... Oh God, this is really killing me.. i am not really a perfectionist but this is really.. Depressing. I have done so many cute things and still I don't feel we did well.

The lecturer was kind. I mean, the feedbacks don't sound as bad as I thought it should be.

Firstly regarding the report I have submitted. Thanks to all seniors for the support, advice, opinions, checking and so on. But for one of the specific objectives, the lecturer suggested that we should break it further down from categories to specific target words. And list down each how much we aim to achieve in one student block.

For the role play, regarding the greeting parts, "hi" and "bye", we should also make it an habit do it at the beginning of the session and at the end of the session. This is because by using finger puppets alone, the client with autism might not be able to understand it in the context of greeting real people. 

Besides, we taught the client the word "eat" in this therapy and it was the right thing to do.(thanks to senior for this suggestion) the lecturer said that it is functional as it fits all the words that the clients is able to use everyday like apple, orange.... The client's familiar words are mainly in food category. However, Dr. Sandra suggested us that we should use this word "eat" in a 2-word phrase like "eat apple, eat orange...."because the client already acquired some concrete words like apple, oranges, bread, oranges and so on. 

AND AND AND~~~ the visual schedule IS GOOD! 

"It is good that you(our group) use visual schedule. If it is done continuously, it is good as it can give the child a picture of.....bla bla bla.."

:D thanks to ah Boon for this suggestion, haha.

And most of the feedbacks go to the clinician actor. It is like her show. As we as other actor can't really do much. And the client. Well......I WISH IT COULD ACT AGAIN. I WISH I COULD DO IT AGAIN~~~~~~ :'( 

Sigh. I will accept it... I promise next time we must do the best!

I remember I was the best in this clinical orientation course... :'( but those are mostly individual task. Even in the group work, I seem control lots of things. Sigh. Now, I really think. I should IMPROVE MORE ON WORKING IN A GROUP AND COOPERATE WITH OTHERS.

Tiff.
