Discuss your strengths, areas for improvement, and where you see yourself in 6 months, 1 year.

I tend to think that I can handle any situation on my own. This is effective in some circumstances, but frequently I require assistance from others to get beyond obstacles that are out of my grasp. I’ve worked on teaching myself to pause before launching into problem-solving mode and to recognize individuals or groups that might be helpful for me. Due to my tendency toward perfection, I sometimes take too long on a project’s intricacies, endangering deadlines. I’m still making an effort to be conscious of how my actions impact my team and management. I now know how to strike a balance between perfect and excellent. In 6months, I am hoping to have acquired the needed skills and experience with different clients. I will practice working as a team to ensure that the client needs and rights are upheld. In one year, I will try to find independence by starting a behavioral clinic of my own. With the experience I gained during employment, I am hoping to have attracted clients who like my work and are willing to work with me independently. This will be my stepping stone to owning a large behavioral organization that will help young children with autism disorder.

Briefly explain one specific example of how you plan to support a caseload of diverse clients.

I will work efficiently to ensure that all clients feel at home with me irrespective of their diverse backgrounds. First, I will try to gain as much knowledge as possible from research and co-workers on the different available diverse clients. I will educate myself and also motivate the people I am working with on the client’s background so as to create a good environment for the client. I will set policies that promote client diversity and revise them when need be. I will provide vocational training; translators and equipment which will help uphold diversity. I will also engage in programs that help in understanding diversity based on race, gender, age, disability and socioeconomic backgrounds.
