VOL. 4 NUMBER 4 : September-October 2008

We’ve made it through another Texas Sum-mer. I’m always amazed when we get to Sep-tember and I realize we still have therapists working for us. As you all know, I have a very small case load. Even so, every year in early July, two things happen.

First, I realize that hu-man beings shouldn’t perform home health

in the State of Texas in July or August. This realization tends to happen immediately after a visit in a poorly air conditioned home, most likely on a street without any shade to park my car in. (Please understand that those of us who move to Texas from climates where 70 degrees is considered “hot” simply don’t develop a concept of suffer-ing second degree burns from touching a steering wheel.) The second thing that happens to me in July is a sense of panic and fear: What if our therapists all of a sudden realize the same thing, that homecare in August in Texas is simply “unnatural”, and send a “see ya in September no-tice” to me? What would happen to T2K?

I’ve done a bit of reflecting on why we keep most of you around through the summer. I think there are two rea-sons. In the spirit of “keeping things real”, I think that reason number one is: Y’all need a paycheck! The second reason, and in my humble opinion the more important one: Passion. I think it takes a passionate person to sur-vive through 10 consecutive days of 100-degree weather, to keep seeing your kids, and to keep doing so with good morale and company spirit. I consider us lucky to have at-tracted as many passionate individuals as we have.

With that said, I breathe a sigh of relief when September comes around. Yes, September in Texas is still hot, but it’s not insane like August. Yes, the after-school craze has not

completely died down yet, and most of you are still look-ing for extra day timers, but usually things are a bit more stable in September than in the craze called August.

This year, we have a great additional reason to celebrate September: T2K Day! We’re returning to Six Flags for a day of fun, food and sensory overload! (Asking any and all OT’s to be on standby if I actually decide to get my behind in a roller coaster, my promise to you: It will NOT be pretty). I hope that you will make it to the Park, so that we can entertain you, thank you for being a T2Ker, and so that we can celebrate that we’ve made it through another Texas summer.

My sincere thanks to all of you for your hard work over the past months, I hope to see you at Six Flags!

Inside This Issue:

THE INSIDE EDITIONfrom the Administrator, Jerre van den Bent, PT

Wow! I can’t believe I am finally a new grad. It seems like such a long time ago that I started the graduate school pro-cess.

It was sum-mer of 2005 when I de-

cided to go back to school after being an assis-tant for 10 years. It was hard to get back into the school groove while working full time and raising my daughter on my own, but soon it became like second nature. Looking back on it now, I am so glad that I pushed through it.

I have to say at this point that I could not have done it with out the support of my fam-ily, friends and, of course,THERAPY 2000. Even before the career track went into effect, I had a huge amount of support and encouragement from my supervisors and THERAPY 2000 in gen-eral.

The decision to go back to school did not come lightly. The expense involved, the commit-ment, the hard work, and the time away from my daughter, but I knew it was something I had to do for me, and again, I am so glad I did.

So what has changed from being an assistant, then a student Intern, and now a CFY? In one word, EVERYTHING! My daughter has learned commitment and perseverance where educa-tion is involved, my family has seen me over-come my struggles and land firmly on my feet, and THERAPY 2000 (supervisors, staff, and well, everyone) has had confidence in me and gave me the support to really take on my new role of CFY, even when I doubted myself.

These new roles as a CFY are very different from that of an assistant. Before, I didn’t have to de-pend on my knowledge or expertise to make clinical decisions. I could of course offer input, but I had a supervisor to fall back on and to ul-timately make decisions. Now it’s all me. I am responsible for testing and choosing appropri-ate goals — which ones need to be addressed first and in what order. I have the responsibility of completing and writing evaluations and PUs. I get to directly talk with doctors and nurses. I can’t rely on someone else to do those things, and you know what, I am glad.

Just last week I had to talk to nurses at a pul-monologist’s office to order the inline Passy Muir speaking valve for a patient. Before, I would rely on my supervisor to take care of it, and didn’t have the confidence to do it myself. I have to say it was a very powerful experience. None of the nurses, nor had the doctor ever heard of the inline PMV. I was able to educate the nurses on something so important. Another nurse not in-volved in the case, even called me, to find out more about it. The doctor ended up approving the order, and I felt empowered. Me! I did that! I was always confident during treatment, but now I am even more so, I don’t second-guess myself as much.

I have the knowledge now, not just the experi-ence. I have more confidence then I ever did be-fore. When anyone asks me what I do I proudly say— not speech therapy assistant, or student intern, or that I “do” speech therapy, but that I AM a Speech-Language Pathologist.

Accessibility can be a major issue for a lot of families who have a child with a disability.

There are only a few agencies in the metroplex that help address this need. As you can imagine, these agencies are all maxed out.

One of these agencies is The Dallas Ramp Project. Dallas Ramps is a com-pletely volunteer-based agency that has built more than 2000 ramps since its inception in 1985.

Dallas Ramps works with local businesses, volunteers, social service agencies to identify and build a ramp for a family or individual who might otherwise not have safe and easy access to their residence.

I personally have referred dozens of families to Dallas Ramps over the past few years. In an effort to support this great agency and give back to the community, the Social Work/Nurse Committee here at THERA-PY 2000 has volunteered to build a ramp for the Dallas Ramp Project.

We will build the ramp on September 20. We are excited to come to-gether in a fun and practical way to support one of the many agencies that also strives to meet the needs of our families. If you are involved in a similar worthy project, let us know. We would love to highlight your good works.

HSA:Tips on minimizing your Prescription Drug Costs

1. Ask your provider if the prescribed drug has a generic version or if there are less expensive alternatives for the drug.

2. Once your provider has given you a prescription, ask if there are any samples available. This will allow you a little bit of time to compare costs without missing your needed medication.

3. Check the Blue Cross Blue Shield online services to see if they have a drug cost comparison tool to help you identify the most affordable option.

4. Choose a pharmacy that participates in your specific Blue Cross Blue Shield r network. Network pharmacies will file the claims for you as well as reimburse you if you have paid more than the negotiated rate.

5. If you are taking a maintenance medication, utilize the mail order services to help maximize your savings. Be sure to ask your doctor to write the prescription for a 90 day supply.

2008 Family Day

This is the last of my series on busting the procrastination habit. I hope this final strat-egy will not only help conquer the habit of procrastination but also reduce your stress level. Most of us are time sensitive, have a lot to do, with little time to do it and dreading even friendly reminders from some-

one if we miss a deadline. Too much to do during our usual waking hours pushes us to lose sleep, mul-titask to the point of chronic distraction and start to load muscle tension in the stress-prone areas of our bodies (insert sound of screeching tires here and yell stop!). Here’s another way to de-clutter your calendar and distress yourself at the same time.

First, list your priority tasks. Include urgently impor-tant activities that support your occupation, or the roles and obligations that are most important to you, i.e. job-related assignments, academic assignments, or caring for a loved one. This group will often have a rapidly pending deadline increasing the pressure we often feel. These are your ‘A’ items.

Next, write down non-urgent, yet important activi-ties, which support long-term goals or principles for your life such as secondary job tasks, financial man-agement or preventive health measures. Deadlines are not immediate for this group. These are your ‘B’ items.

Finally list your chores, routine job tasks, recreational and social activities that are neither overtly impor-tant nor urgent in nature. These are action items that can wait, but once done will often take a bite out of a bigger task, and satisfy your conscience or sense of order. There are no deadlines for this group. These are your ‘C’ items.

Once you have categorized the majority of your ac-tivities you are ready to plug them into your calendar or just tackle the three columns as a prioritized to-do list. A prioritized to-do list allows you to pull a few items from each category each day. My favorite part of this strategy is the ease of matching tasks to my energy level at different times of day. A lull in my af-ternoon energy level calls for a few tasks from my ‘C’ list, while during the last hour of my work day when I get a second wind might be a good place to do just one more item from my ‘B’ list. My ‘A’ list items are still a good match for the “Eat That Frog” strategy first thing in the morning.

Once the ‘ABC’ list is written, it’s hard to ignore. This exercise rewards you for kicking the procrastination habit by leveraging your time, lowering stress, and raising personal satisfaction. I tried it and I like it!

As a former Child Pro-tective Services (CPS) supervisor, I hope to demystify CPS over several upcoming edi-tions of the Insider. This month’s mystery is fos-ter care location.

CPS workers no longer have control as to a child’s foster placement. The worker completes a 35-page document and sends it to the “central-ized placement unit.”

This unit locates and chooses the foster home.

“But wait!” you may say. Why is it that once a home is found then my patient gets moved again and again? The true, but hidden answer: The current foster parents request it. Usually after business hours, the CPS worker—on her way to an outing or a much-needed margarita—is called and told those dreaded words; “placement disruption.” The worker cries and/or curses, reschedules her evening,

and hurries to put in a request to the placement unit—the controller of foster care destiny!

“Okay,” you say. ”I understand the placement unit’s power, but why doesn’t CPS notify us of the move?” Most CPS workers carry more than 60 cases and are doing good just to keep up with the continuous placement disruptions, court hearings, documentation, and angry parents. Sad but true: THERAPY 2000 is nowhere on the worker’s list of priorities!

What can we do to change this cruel reality? THERAPY 2000 case managers (CM) can continue to contact the as-signed worker directly. If the CPS worker is a mystery, the CM can contact the local CPS office and speak with the “duty worker” who can then supply the assigned worker’s contact information or the actual placement information. Foster agency case managers or the child’s CASA can also be helpful.

For additional clarification, feel free to contact me at 817-507-1506. Look for the next issue’s topic: “CPS in a nut-shell.”

Milford Roque likes to work at THERA-PY 2000, and it shows.

He’s a speech therapist assistant and has worked with the agency for two years. In that time he’s worked long days, traveled the North area from one end to the other and is always ready to do it again.

“I fell in love with speech therapy in school, and there’s not much else I’d rather do,” he said.

Karen Gillum, District Supervisor of the North Division, said Milford uses his enthusiasm to motivate his patients.

“He inspires them to want to improve,” she said. “His pa-tients love him and look forward to ‘Mr. M’s’ visits. He is upbeat and innovative—always looking for new therapy ideas. If he doesn’t know something, he does the research necessary to find the information he needs.”

Milford was influenced early in his life at home since his mother worked with visually impaired children. He at-tended Grambling State University in Grambling, La. He originally planned to study psychology with a minor in deaf education.

An adviser at the university asked him to consider speech therapy as a major, since there were similarities between it and his minor. He opted to take one class, and the rest is history.

Soon after graduating he moved to Dallas, where he stayed with an aunt that already lived here. He interviewed with THERAPY 2000 and liked it from the first day.

“Even though I was just interviewing, everybody talked to me like they already knew me,” he said. “I could tell from the beginning that there was a real family atmosphere.”

Maggie K., a parent whose foster children receive treat-ment from Milford, said in a letter that she credits the vast progress in her son’s speech and language to Milford’s dedicated work.

“Milford has been able to reach him and facilitate growth in a way that takes much compassion, patience and skill,” she wrote. “I am always impressed how Milford can han-dle behavioral challenges and still manage an effective therapy session.”

Maggie’s foster daughter has also made steady progress that “only the most tenacious and compassionate of ther-apists could manage.”

“They don’t make better therapists than Milford,” she sum-marizes.

Milford said he is very happy to work for the agency, and he credits Jerre van den Bent with creating an optimum working environment because he too has worked the field and knows what therapists need to be successful.

“I feel blessed to have worked somewhere else before I came to THERAPY 2000,” Milford said. “That way I can ap-preciate how good therapists have it here.”

When he’s not busy working, Milford like to spend time with his wife and two daughters. He also likes to connect online and play PlayStation videogames with former col-leagues from the National Guard, where he served for sev-eral years and was honorably discharged.

Milford is also an active member of the IT committee at and had a key role in the selection and training on the agency’s new tablets.

From his military service to his present line of work, Mil-ford has surrounded himself with positive influences.

According to Karen, Milford is preparing to return to school to get his graduate degree so that he, too, can reach his optimal potential.

“When you work with greatness, you can become great yourself,” Milford said.
