A Year in Review
September 2012-2013
The journey began after I attended the IECA Summer Training
Institute in July 2012. I was so inspired to start my career as an EC that I
jumped into a rental car in Philadelphia and made my way through Boston,
Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, visiting as many programs as I could
schedule, all in 1 week. The travel bug bit me and my adventures continued over
the course of the year. I made the 1 year commitment to see and experience as
many programs as possible, building a strong foundation of knowledge so that I
can better support the families I work with. I was extremely fortunate to have
met some extraordinary people. Clinicians, administrative support, marketing,
day & ground staff, even maintenance crew, all demonstrated a passion and
love for the work they do with the clients. With every trip I was inspired to
learn more. This year also afforded me the opportunity to participate in
several conferences including speaking to families of young adults about
Transitional programming options, conducting a 4 part training series for
parents of current Seniors, and presenting a panel discussion on Innovative
Young Adult Programming at the upcoming IECA 2013. Looking forward towards the
future, I am excited to continue working with inspiring families, furthering my
knowledge about specific treatment programs, gaining a greater understanding of
evidence based practices and outcome measures, continuing to educate families
about transitional topics, and assisting with the development of innovative
programming for young adults. Thanks to everyone that have assisted me in this
journey… Looking forward to many more adventures.
