Baroco Corp.; Hadley, MA

Primary Responsibilities:


  • Spend time with individual clients on a weekly basis

  • Give patients one-on-one time to be able to achieve specific tasks and goals together

There was a minor change to my responsibilities while I was at my placement. At first I was assigned only 2 separate clients but later was assigned another because she was responsive to myself and the one-on-one attention.


Overall, I would rate this placement as excellent.


I would definitely recommend this site to other students especially if they are passionate about going into the DMR/ID field. It is a great opportunity to gain some experience with the ID population.


One thing I would change is to have my placement involve some type of therapy or counseling experience.


My advice to other students is to be 100% positive that working in this field is what you want for a career. In order to be passionate about something, you have to like what you do.
