If...AT is a rewarding facet of disability services. If your resources and information can help just one person make their life a little easier, all the hard work is worth it. As an AT Advocate we do wear many hats, from resource specialist, to grant writer, to peer counselor. It is difficult when there are consumers who it's hard to get the resources for, especially funding. You have to "think outside the box" a lot of times, and face rejection along the way. <br /><br />One of the parts of this article I really liked was the terminology Jorge used regarding how we as AT Adovocates manage cases. Since we don't really do "case manangement", I have always kind of struggled to come up with a better term that describes the same type of process. Case coordination is exactly what I was looking for, so this article has helped me better define exactly what it is I do as an advocate.Sandra Grahamhttp://www.drail.orgnoreply@blogger.com
