Infinite Services, Inc.

GENERAL:
The transition from school to the work world is not a clear or easy move for many. One commonly spends 20 or more years completing school and then one fine day you have a job where everything is relatively new to you. Its completely normal to be apprehensive of starting new and to be unsure of yourself. Therefore, a supportive and understanding company where the staff understands your position and does as much as possible to accommodate your learning experience can truly make the transition to work a positive undertaking. This was certainly the case at Infinite Services.

I started at Infinite Services towards the end of January 2015 and continued until the end of school year. In the past 5 or so months that I've worked at Infinite Services I've found the staff working directly with you and those that aren't working directly with you to be very helpful, positive, and understanding. If I ever had any questions regarding basic procedures for filling out paperwork I always called and received an answer promptly.

SUPERVISION: 
As a clinical fellow in Speech Language- Pathology I had a supervisor during my time there. She would make routine visits to check on my work with the students. She was always very positive in her critique of those things I could improve on, and always took notice and commended me on what I did correctly. After listening to her critique if I had follow up questions she always explained further so that I could implement those changes in the following sessions. During her critique I never felt demoralized or disrespected. This is very important because as a clinical fellow the supervisor understood that I'm still in my early learning phase and realized that I have alot of room to grow. 

Unfortunately I've had a speech supervisor in the past during a school internship NOT part of Infinite Services who was very demoralizing and did not understand how to supervise somebody learning in the field. I always did my best to incorporate their critique but they always made me feel like I was an idiot. Then, I realized that I am simply learning as fast and as best I can and that different people learn at different rates. Additionally each therapist is variable and has a different way of doing things or has a different set of expectations.  This is a simple concept misunderstood by this unnnamed former internship supervisor who should not be supervising at all. 

Thus, I cannot stress how important it is to have a supportive supervisor as this can make the difference between a positive learning experience or an experience where not much is learned. 
My supervisor at Infinite Services definitely made it very positive and because of that I've learned a lot from the interactions we've had. 

JOB SITE LOCATION:
Infinite Services did a great job finding placements in the general area that I requested. I live in Queens and get around by public transportation. Thus, one of my major job finding requirements was finding a company that had placements in Queens or Manhattan as it is easier and less time consuming to travel between and to those boroughs. Traveling to the Bronx or Brooklyn from my part of Queens usually takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours travel time without snow. If there should be snow more time is needed to get to the job. Every single placement I've had during my time at Infinite Services has been in Queens and has been very easy to get to. This is very important as having a long commute can cause fatigue which can easily carry over to your work day. I've had no problems in any placement location.

*PLACEMENT STABILITY:

Prior to starting at Infinite Services you should know that most of the work involves covering for previous maternal/other reason leaves for former therapists at various job sites. Thus, it is common and expected to be at a school for about 2-3 months before having to move on to another school. You should also know that most contractual companies cover for previous therapist leaves. (*Although it can be difficult having to move on to different schools in a short span of time there is a highly positive outcome to this which I will explain in detail in the "Advancement of Career Understanding" section of this review.) Despite having to move to different schools during the school year you can definitely count on the company to find you another placement within your general requested area. This has definitely been the case for me. Every time I transitioned between schools from the day I ended the current school placement to the starting day of the new school placement, there has only been about 1-2 working days needed to transition into the new place. Thus when moving to a new school you can expect to start working at the new school  very soon after your old school placement has ended. So there is definitely stability in working in a new placement.

*In terms of the highly positive factor in moving between schools during the school year, you gain a better understanding of certain aspects of the job especially goal and report writing. This leads me to my next section:

ADVANCEMENT OF CAREER UNDERSTANDING: 

Before working at Infinite Services, you should understand that most of the work involves treatment. There is not a large focus on formal evaluation although there is definitely evaluation involved at the beginning of a school via your own informal assessments during sessions. All of the student's IEP goals are usually present when you begin. One positive outcome from usually having the goals and formal assessments completed is that you can really focus on the treatment. When I first started I had little to no materials and wasn't sure if I could come up with enough materials to provide adequate treatment for the coming months. Most graduate schools do not give you the tools you need to provide treatment on your own. Thus it was very beneficial for me to really focus on treatment and to develop/collect my own materials for use during sessions. 

Traveling in between schools also provides you with the advantage of seeing how different therapists write their goals as well as how they word similar goals differently. You also have the ability to see how previous therapists write progress reports in terms of format and content. I can't tell you how helpful having this opportunity is. During my time in between different schools I have had the opportunity to see similarities between many written goals and had the ability to choose how to model/alter my own future goal writing while incorporating my own aspects of goal / report writing. You can definitely see stronger and weaker goal/ report writing in between different schools which can really help your personal understanding and advancement. 

*However bear in mind that if you'd like more experience with taking part in evaluations, Infinite Services has some evaluation opportunities you can be a part of separate from your school placement. You just have to ask them when such opportunities arise.

PAPERWORK:

As a healthcare professional you must expect a good amount of paperwork to be done. In the beginning it can be difficult as you try and get your paperwork done. As you actively seek ways to do your paperwork faster and more efficiently, you can significantly minimize the time needed to complete your paperwork. The paperwork at Infinite Services includes the following:

-Daily SESIS notes for each student
-Separate Microsoft Word document where you copy and paste SESIS Notes
-Timesheets
-Progress reports roughly every 2 months for each student

***Here are some tips to speed up your paperwork so that it is less cumbersome:

TIPS FOR SESIS NOTES:
-Write your SESIS notes in the computer system at the end of everyday. This way you remember the session more.
-Develop and print out a simple excel log sheet where you document the a) student b) activity / materials c) Data in the form of checks, minuses, and prompt symbols.
-Develop a set format for you SESIS notes including all the necessary information so that its just a matter of plugging in new information and you don't have to worry about how to write it.

TIPS FOR TIMESHEETS:

*You have to submit a timesheet documenting each student's: Name, ID number, DOB, Time in, Time out, Session time. If you write in each students information every time you write a timesheet you will spend more than an hour finding and inputting their data.
So:

*Make a "master timesheet" with each students information written in the beginning. Then simply copy and paste the students you saw into the timesheet. In this way you can do a timesheet in 5-10 minutes.


*TIPS FOR PROGRESS REPORTS:

-Have a set format for a progress report and get it approved by the supervisor so that you can be confident in all your reports.
-Plugin information for each student.

CONCLUSION:

My time at Infinite Services has been very positive and I've certainly learned alot and will continue learning as I continue at a different company because I'm moving to another state. I have confidence in recommending Infinite Services to other SLP-CFYS and I hope you all learn alot and become successful.

I have been employed with the company for about 6 months and have had very positive experience. 
The school I had been assigned was easy to get to by a train and I had no problems getting there even on a lot of snow days last winter.
On my first day at the school my supervisor came to meet me and made sure I had a room and a list of all the students in my caseload,  She introduced me to the administration and overall helped me with paperwork smoothing out things that occurred on first days at school. During my entire time at the company, the supervisor was available to answer all my questions related to any issues  whether it was writing progress reports or challenging cases in my caseload. She is not only an awesome supervisor but also a wonderful person who truly wants you to succeed. 
Also, I would like to note that the entire staff at Infinite Services was highly professional and very pleasant to work with. I will certainly miss them all!

I've worked with this agency for two years. My CF year was great, but you do not get as much support as you need. You are responsible for purchasing your own supplies.  It's difficult to connect with other therapists from the agency as there are few opportunities to do so. There is a lot of flexibility in making your caseload, as you can accept or deny caseloads as you please. You do not get paid for sessions where the student is absent. While you typically get paid weekly (accept for holidays), monitor your direct deposits as they withhold your checks without warning if paperwork is missing-- even if you did your part.  I had to threaten to file a complaint with the state before the situation was rectified. 

I've worked at Infinite for over 5 years now, which I think says a lot about a company. Infinite has always been helpful and responsive when I've needed support from within my school setting. The staff has always been helpful during transitions from one placement to another and has made sure to listen to and care for my considerations. Infinite's online website for billing and note taking is smooth and easy to use and makes the paper work portion of the job easier. Overall it has been a great company to work for!

I recently joined Infinite Services, INC as a service provider. This agency is a wonderful and supportive place to work. So far my experience here has been incredibly positive. They provide you with many options, as well as with a lot of guidance and support, while at the same time also allowing you the independence to work and grow as a professional.  All staff are frequently available for questions, concerns, and comments and are always a lot of help as well as happy to assist. I am extremely excited to continue to work at this agency. I have recommended it to my peers and will continue to do so. I would also definitely recommend to any other professionals interested in this agency.

Company and management does not stress me out, allowing me to make this a great per diem job to supplement my full time work. Being a homecare therapist, you need to manage your own time, patients, and notes. You can self-learn everything and have the freedom to manage your own schedule without the company micromanaging you, or you can reach out to the manager or interdisciplinary team via email, phone, or text for more help and guidance. Wonderful work culture and I highly recommend it.

As someone who came from a different industry, I was, at first, hesitant to take the role that was offered to me, worried that I may not be able to deliver what's expected of me. But everyone in the company is very helpful and accommodating. It was very easy for me to approach anyone (including the managers!) whenever I need help or assistance, which makes completing my daily tasks easier and faster. Now, I feel more confident in performing my role and I am not scared to take on extra tasks knowing that I have the company's back for support.

Days to go and I will celebrate my half a year existence with Infinite. One of the reason why I choose Infinite to work with is that they have a great working schedule. Saturday and Sunday offs plus fixed 9am-6pm working time :) As a mom I really need that schedule for me to take care of my kids. Also, the management are very professionals, the team leaders and managers are very supportive to my working needs. I really enjoy the place, the colleagues, the managers and the ambiance. They say "To be successful, the first thing to do is fall in love with your work." - Mary Lauretta"

I've learned a lot since I started working here at Infinite. I started as a Recruiter then became one of the SPC, and now Team Lead. They have supported me in all aspects of my task on a day-to-day basis until I can take them with minimal supervision. They have an open-door policy wherein you can reach out to them for any feedback. They encourage their employees to suggest ideas that will help improve with what we have in our current system/process. Overall I am very happy to be working with all of them. 

Driving around in NYC, finding suitable parking spots near client place, and time management can be tricky however with time one can learn to manage those factors. Most satisfying part of the job is that therapist helps improve quality of life of their clients and hardest part is time management and once in a while treating a client with cognitive issue can be a challenge.
