The office that I work for just relocated and here are a few things that I come away with.
1. I love that in our new office the games are located in an area where the children cannot see them! This cuts down on "I want to pick a game." issues.
2. I love that the new office has automatically locking doors. This is awesome for evenings when one of us is there alone. Much less worry about safety!
3. I cont. to wish that each therapist had a computer/tablet for charting. It would be awesome to be able to do my paperwork whenever I have downtime-rather than having to wait for an available computer. A tablet would be awesome because I could use it to chart during the session as well as use it for speech apps.
4. I really wish that each therapist could be assigned to a specific therapy room. That way we could keep supplies for our clients in the closet and not have to haul them in each time we see them AND more importantly it would be ideal for our clients with autism or similar disorders that are thrown off when anything changes.
5. I love that there is an observation room for parents. However, I wish that this was available in all therapy rooms, not just the testing room. I firmly believe that parents "buying into therapy" is essential. When they can watch what we are doing they can implement things from therapy at home thus increase progress across multiple settings.
6. I love that this company encourages the therapists to communicate with each other. The OTs and SLPs all share an office space allowing us to discuss needs of shared clients and bounce ideas off of each other.
