My name is Casey and I am an occupational therapist working in an elementary school in southeastern New Hampshire. I work with children from three years to nine years old. 30% of my caseload consists of children on the Autism Spectrum, of which four are considered non-verbal. I am currently attending an Autism Spectrum Disorders certificate program at Antioch University New England in Keene, NH. This blog serves as a medium for reflecting on the assigned readings and information presented during my Introduction to Counseling classes.

I am hoping to gain some insight on how best to work with my students and their families. One of my goals is to learn more about interventions to highlight the strengths and address the weaknesses of these children. By the end of this class, I am looking forward to learning how to integrate technology into my therapy sessions, both low- and high-tech.
