What I've learned

I'm not sure if I included this in the sections of assessments, but here are some things I have learned throughout the course of this class.
I definitely learned about many kinds of assessments, but through these I learned which ones coulde be appropriate for certain types of populations. You may not want to use an assessment that was mainly created for children on an adult, as they could possibly find this offensive and not take the assessment seriously. This could then greatly skew the results of the assessment, and it might not work the way that you had intended. I also learned from this class some assessment that I may want to use in the future with clients, and some that I already have. One I have that I have found very useful is the bridge drawing. This is a wonderful assessment for being able to tell where people are and where they want to go with their goals and such in therapy. Quite useful. Through this process, I have also found assessments that I do not like, such as the Ulman. Maybe it was the day we did this assessment on, but it just seemed very tedious, and I could see this going in a bad way if you wanted to give this to children.
Overall I think I have learned a great deal about a great many assessments, some I liked, some I did not, however I believe all of the information that we have gone over in class is valuable and useful toward the future, which is not quite what I had envisioned at the beginning of this class. I am glad to find out that I enjoyed this class and learning all of the assessments and accompanying information, even if it was a lot to take in so late at night. I do plan to keep looking up and looking into varying assessments that may pique my curiosity, as there is always something new to learn.
