Transcript: Deb responds to the question, “What tips would you like to pass on to new colleagues?”

The first tip I would like to pass on to new therapists is to ask questions. Ask your colleagues about the resources they use. Use all the timesavers you can, especially when it comes to efficiently doing paperwork– this might mean using templates, resources developed by other therapists, existing routines and activities, and look for resources available in the schools that you visit. Don’t try to reinvent the wheel. The second tip is to work as hard as you can at work but leave it behind as soon as you finish for the day. It is a busy job and there is always more work to do than there is time to do it. Despite this it is important to not take work home. Make sure you use time outside of work to recharge and refresh.
