How do you think your fieldwork educator might feel after reading this sentence? Do you think you may want to rewrite this part?

Make sure you write the acronym in parentheses after you defined it earlier in the paragraph.

Keep capitalization consistent with brand names

Please provide the generic name for this material. You can list these brand names as examples.

Sounds like a lot of fun!

in the outpatient setting

I frequently bill for evaluation and treatment. I have rarely completed an evaluation without adding value to the client. What I mean by "adding value" is that I am well aware that clients want to leave with something, not just be interviewed, poked, and prodded, and sent on their way. I always make it worth their while--through education, recommendations, and training. All those are interventions, and are billable. So, it is not always unethical to bill for treatment along with an evaluation. However, as a student, I am aware that you may not yet have the capacity to provide effective treatment alongside an evaluation. I just don't want you to think that it's always wrong to bill for both.

Can you provide an example?

Spell out before first instance using the acronym, especially if you will be using it again on the page. Otherwise, no need to use an acronym. Please refer to APA formatting guidelines.

Please format correctly--see prior comment. Additionally, if you are not using the abbreviation or acronym again, there is no need to parenthesize it. Using an acronym is appropriate when you repeatedly refer to it, but in your case I don't see any of these duplicated.

Please format correctly. Acronym or abbreviation comes after, not before the full description.

I love the YT video at the end of this page, but it was not created by you, and you have not credited the author (I can't easily find the citation or reference). I'd prefer you to either include something of your own making or eliminate other people's work in your own APDE.

This sentence is very wordy and unclear. Please revise, consider perhaps splitting it into two distinct sentences. It is very difficult to understand.

Still inconsistency with patients and clients.

Lovely reflection

This sentence is still bothersome because it dehumanizes the people in maximum security. What was the risk to you? Surely there was no risk to you--you were safe. It's unfair to color it as if you took some big risk to your life. The people in there were humans, not monsters. Unless I am wrong and you absolutely risked your life every encounter.

Lauren, you did a good job in #3 spelling it out and then placing the abbreviation in parentheses, no need to do it again. My previous comment was that it needed to appear earlier in the page, and it does.

Perfect!

I still think you need to revise this sentence. Perhaps something, I felt unconfident treating clients with the types of diagnoses they had....or something along those lines.

what was the risk to you? Explain! Also remember to state "maximum security facility".

Maggie, consider rewording this sentence. It is not grammatically sound. Also, try to keep it in first person.

You already used this comment in the previous section. You can only use each piece of evidence one time. Which one do you choose?

Please find a different word other than opportunities. Opportunities sounds like it was a fluke, not deliberate. You did much more than have random opportunities. You IN ALL INSTANCES combined theory, gathered valuable information, graded interventions, etc. You didn't just do it when it was opportune. Do you see the difference, and what I am getting at? Using the word "opportunity" diminishes your thoughtful approach to your clients.

Please see my previous comment--this is still a long sentence that is difficult to digest. Consider breaking it down into two separate sentences. Keep it simple.

Because further in the sentence you use the words they and their, I am assuming you are referring to many clients. Therefore, the apostrophe comes after the s

Nice. ADL==when used before, please spell out. CVA and TBI are not necessary in parentheses because this is the only instance that you use those words on this page, and they no longer appear on the page.

Please correct this to past tense

Great. Since the figures aren't labeled, perhaps say "in the bottom picture", or something similar. Also, the middle picture evidence was used for objective #6, the next one. You can only use one piece of evidence per objective, so choose where you would like it to go.

Hmmm...this sounds like you are the physician making the diagnosis. Be careful! Please change your choice of words here, as it is a misrepresentation of our profession. We do not diagnose...at that level. How else can you word this in order to make the same point?

Please don't use acronyms without first spelling them out and then putting the acronym in parentheses, e.g., range of motion (ROM). If you don't use the acronym again on the page, then you don't need to put the acronym in parentheses--don't use it at all. You can do a simple "search" on your webpage to see where else you used this.
