Interns are expected to spend at least one full day per month in the field directly observing student behaviors and interactions. Interns work with staff to jointly determine the extent to which a student is reliable and honest in therapy about their behavior and progress in the field and residence program. Interns will provide parents with relevant information on the child's progress based on therapy as well as direct observation. Interns make phone contacts with parents to provide progress updates and to gather pertinent information regarding parental and family history, skills and needs. This information will be used to help identify student program needs and to develop after graduation plans.
Interns support the program's parenting program.
Interns will give parents relevant assignments. Interns are expected to follow State Of Oregon Administrative Rules and Statutes pertaining to standards of practice, ethics and laws pertaining to confidentiality, treatment and evaluation services for youth ages 13 to 18 years old. Students are legally considered patients and are entitled to the protections and rights afforded them under the license of the Program Psychologist. Interns will help develop after graduation plans for students prior to a student's graduation. These reports will be developed jointly with parents and with the input of program staff.
