whom it may concern
240 Turnpike St.
Canton, MA 02021 Subject: Thank you
for all of the help To whom it may
concern: I would like to give
everyone in the Judge Rotenberg Educational center a great big thank you
for everything that have done for me. If it weren't for some of the staff
I probably wouldn't have been able to get here at the Turnpike residence
but most of the staff has been an excellent success in my life. I entered
the Judge Rotenberg Center Wednesday, August 23, 2000. I came in this
program on seventeen different types of meds and the nurses had a doctor
come and talk to me to see if they were doing anything or even they were
needed. When the doctor came he had said that there was no need for me to
be on so much medication. Most of the meds were supposed to relax me, but
they made me tired instead of relaxed. I used to want to sleep all day and
do nothing. But right now all I really want to do is things such as
academics and extra chores. When I first came here I didn't want to do any
of these things. But now that I am on no meds at all I am finely able to
do things for my self instead of staff or anyone else doing the things
that I am supposed to do for my self. When I started off in the Judge
Rotenberg Center I was in restraint at least fifteen times a day. Before I
started my treatment at JRC I had fourteen hundred aggressions and a lot
of HDB's (Health Dangerous Behaviors). Now that I had something that will
help me control my aggressions I am able to either use my words and my
actions. My actions used to speak louder than my words can. But since I
have been on my treatment there has been a serious decrease in all my
behaviors. But when I first entered this program I was at a higher crisis
house due to my behaviors. I had tried my best to not have behaviors. I
feel that this program has done an awful lot to help me. I have been
through a lot and I have been trying to deal with all my anger in an
appropriate manner not a negative manner. I have had to deal with a lot of
changes made in either the residence or the school. I have had at least
five different case managers and they have all helped me in the same way
and the same manner. I feel that all of the higher up staff are also a
great big success in my time at the Judge Rotenberg Education Center. I
have also had two great clinicians in my time so far here at the Judge
Rotenberg Center. I have really appreciated everything that has been done
for me here at the Judge Rotenberg Educational Center. Thank you very much for all the help and the patience that all of the
staff has had with me. |
