May 2016

all special needs clients with developmental disabilities and I had no choice but to do 1 to 1. They could not tell me that things were going okay. Otherwise what I did was about the same and in fact as you talk about what you do I realized not that I am the person receiving case management that I get calls like you are talking about.

The only reason we did not work from home was that the clients files were confidential and they would not let us take them home.

It is interesting to see how this has changed since I stopped working.

Thank you.
