L1MA/DSP looking for a related job
Hey guys. I have been a DSP/L1MA/Caregiver for almost two years now. I’ve mostly worked with adults with disabilities in ISL home settings. I just applied for a job as a medication aide at a retirement home. I am nervous about it because 1) I have a speech disorder. My consumers at work can mostly understand me just fine, but I’m worried that the seniors at this job won’t. 2) I have ASD level 1 that goes hand and hand with said speech disorder. What are your guys thoughts? I would be working overnights as a medication aide, so there’s not a whole lot of interaction besides when I’m going to have to care for clients. Also, the job didn’t really say what all it entailed, so if anyone here is a medication aide in assisted living or a retirement home, what all are your job duties? Thanks so much!
