Pediatric Development Center, Pittsfield, MA

Primary job responsibilities:
-initially observe supervisor at work
-perform tasks
-recording the child's use of certain vocabulary and which tasks they were capable of completing

The only change in my initial primary job responsibilities was the change from observation to recording actions.
I would rate this field placement as Excellent in all possible fields, and i would highly recommend this field placement to other students. Everyone was very accommodating and helpful. I also learned so much and gained great experience that i know will help me when i graduate.I wouldn't change anything about this program.

My advice for other students is to start their paperwork and job searching early because everything can hit you at once and get a bit overwhelming.
