My Objectives

In my previous job it was typical for staff to repeatedly remind the kids of their daily and long-term treatment and behavioral objectives. Imagine things like:

"Oops, remember you are working on putting your own journal away."
"You are learning to use your words."
"We're going to practice ignoring friends that tease, because that's kinda hard today."
and
"You are working on asking a teacher for help."

You get the idea, but there were also the incredibly frequent and surprisingly requisite lessons on social norms. (ex. "We don't ask strangers to lick our faces").

Well, I've decided that I need a specialist to follow me around doing just this. Today my goals would be something like:

"Oops, remember you don't have a maid. So it's your job to do the dishes.."
"You're learning to be self-sufficient. That means you should probably stop calling your mommy every time you are confused about life."
"We're going to practice not embarrassing the crap out of yourself, because that seems to be hard for you."
and

"You are working on remembering if you took your allergy medicine, and therefore not accidentally overdosing."

Okay, my "special teacher" might have more sass than the average treatment professional, but it's all a matter of meeting the client where they're at right? That's especially true when the person is an easily amused self-deprecating therapist in training.

Actually, I might be able to do most of these reminders myself, but I have yet to come up with a solution for the lessons in social norms. Clearly I can't do this alone. If I could I wouldn't have recently asked someone at a bar to smell me. So, who's up for the job? I'll pay you in sardonic comments.

Anyone? Anyone? No?
