Even upon my first couple of weeks in
working within an education facility there have been some problems with
communication between staff and me as a trainee therapist.
Firstly, I organised an observation of the
child who was going to be in therapy with me only to find out the night before
that the child would be on a school trip. I found this strange because I like
to be organised. Having spoken directly to the teacher about the observation I
figured it was 100% going to happen but this was not to be true.
Meaning, that our first therapy session
will be put off another week which disappointed me as I’ve had to wait what
seems like a long time to begin my placement.
Secondly, a lady who needed him for 1:1
time for an academic reason called out a child from my creative group.
Explaining her day of work has changed, meaning said child might not be able to
be in my group anymore.
We have had many lectures about sitting
with the ‘unknown’; I feel this is something I need to get used to in regards
to my placement. At the moment I want it to be organised but I have, so far,
learnt this may not always be the case when dealing with many different people
where communication is not always easily fulfilled.
