Short Narrative:

Contacted Program Coordinator/DSP reminding their responsibility in providing meaningful support in the 1 on 1 sense. As of October 1st, zero reply. [This was also 2 months after being promoted into management]

Long form notes, emails, conversations:

Good Morning “Aly”

I would like to gently remind you that Mondays between 9:00 to 10:30 contractually obligated as 1 on 1 time with you. The last two Mondays were delayed between 10 and 15 minutes; and this followed a holiday. I remind you that this day is paid differently and as a result I need you – on your part – to ensure that is being met, both for value to the dollar, stability in programming and self esteem.

Secondly, I strongly suggest, if any time is delayed, and/or if any ratio outside of 1 on 1 is going into the 9:00 to 10:30 time window, to be documented, and be reflective related to me, whether its progress notes or an FYI to accounting.

I also suggest to limit conversations with other staff or kindly end a conversation (that is not critical, meaning a decision that has to be made, at that very moment.); as that could adversely impact the time being spent on the goals outlined in the contracts. I felt like a third-wheel with one sitting staff member yesterday in the conference room. It has come to my very own attention that we spend less time as opposed to other days in the week due to the holidays that fall on Mondays and the vacations ether person takes. It wasn’t till Labor Day I didn’t realize how little time is spent compared to other days that we could be scheduled for.

It’s also very important to underscore the respected responsibility to ensure a stable schedule and structure to the best of the ability, as any one thing could adversely impact the goals (not only behaviors or emotions I project) that could disrupt me from achieving; as working with you as yesterday could clearly imply. I would like to remind you as well my responsibility as a “participant” to is to hold supports accountable to ensure my goals are being met to agreed upon terms.

Hope to see you tomorrow.
