GROUND Superintendent James Mitchem updates status of Valley View’s ‘New View’

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

T Matt Honold/Bugle staff

Superintendent James Mitchem is addressing issues facing the Valley View School District.

he Valley View School District began its journey to a “new view” at the start of the past school year and Superintendent Dr. James Mitchem intends to keep the momentum aimed at turning the district around this school year. Saddled with a cry for change, the district set out on a no-excuses, new view for a district that has seen test scores and student rankings drop over the years to substandard levels. Last year’s goal was laying the groundwork, and this year’s goal is gaining ground. “I think we accomplished more than we set out to do this past year,” Mitchem said. “…We are moving at break-neck speed with the changes

we are making to the system. …We also have to credit the teachers with accomplishing the level of change they have…every teacher has seen growth in each of their students, that is the goal.” In an atmosphere where rhetoric runs rampant. Mitchem said his and the district’s main priority is to ensure that the rhetoric spouted is backed up with real commitment. “We are gearing up toward aligning ourselves with the highest performing districts in the area and for that matter, in the state,” Mitchem said. But it will take work to get there, and the district has spent the past year putting into place various measures centering on accountability, driving at a quality education for all students who are capable of learning a more rigorous curriculum. See NEW VIEW, page 2

THE BUGLE AUGUST 16, 2012

NEW VIEW Continued from page 1 The goal and the belief, important to Mitchem and the mantra of the district, is that every child will be college or career ready once they graduate from ValleyView high schools.However, it is recognized that students are not at the level they need to be, and an achievement gap exists. How they treat the gap is at the heart of how student instruction will be handled. The charge, led by Mitchem, has held fast to a change in the way the district operates, placing an emphasis on accountability and data that drills down to what each individual child has mastered or is having difficulty with. Individual plans to progress are being worked on for every one of the more than 18,000 children in the district. Quality assessment is at the core of achieving those goals, say district administrators, and the new testing process, the NWEA Measures of Academic Progress, computer-based assessments for reading and math, have

established a way to track every student’s progress. It is the belief that nothing can be accomplished at the elementary or middle school levels without continuously assessing the progress of each child and reacting appropriately to that assessment. Essential to the further development of students is the addition of a more rigorous curriculum. Mitchem acknowledges that students have been subject to a subpar curriculum and that all subpar courses have been eradicated. There are no longer courses beneath the grade level of the school—at high school,all courses are at the ninth grade level and above;at middle school,all courses are at sixth grade level and above; and at K-5, it is the same. Mitchem believes that offering students courses that aren’t up to their level is simply saying to the student that he or she cannot achieve that, and that in itself is the problem. Gone is the day of “dummying down” classes. The bar is now raised, Mitchem said. A new literacy program has been created for kindergarten and first grade,

News aligning standards with the new common core standards set for the state; programs are set for the 2013-14 for second and third grade; an aggressive roll out of a new math program has gone across the board. In essence, say administrators, the level of rigor, basically increasing the level of learning, is happening at all levels and within all curriculum at each grade level. “It is not going to happen overnight, but we will close the gap within five to seven years,” Mitchem said.“We fully anticipate that with the onset of all-day kindergarten, those students will be in a significantly different place by the time they reach third grade then the current third graders are.” The beginning of all-day kindergarten is critical to increase the level of learning, explains Mitchem, but he strongly states that the children caught in the current gap will not be left behind. He said relevant intervention programs are in place to help students catch up. One of those programs, according to Assistant Superintendent for Middle School and High School Rachel Kinder, is

Odyssey, an online program that is meant to be part of an academic intervention plan for middle school. Odyssey will help prepare students with the prerequisite knowledge to prepare them for high school and beyond. Students having difficulty in core areas of

math and reading would be given online instruction during the class period of careers instruction, which is art, music, family and consumer sciences, and applied tech instruction. See NEW VIEW, page 3

NEW VIEW Continued from page 2 The announcement of Odyssey brought a negative outcry from some parents and teachers who called for the inclusion of the arts and music, stating its importance to student’s well being. However, Kinder said careers instruction is not being eliminated. She explained that students will use Odyssey depending on their level of need, and instruction will occur two or three times a week in most cases. Those that have significant need will have the instruction for five days a week. While state standards are being drastically changed, the administration says the district

needs to catch up, and putting in place such interventions is what is needed to help prepare its students. Mitchem relayed that all intervention programs are investigated and researched to ensure best practices are being used with statistical data to back up its success.

“The kids require the intervention,” Mitchem said.“…At the end of the day I an not in this to be popular.I’d rather be popular as a group as we are judged on the success of our students.” The 2012-13 school year begins Aug. 22. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Peterson trial entering second week By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The Drew Peterson murder trial continued into its second week with the prosecution calling on a number of compelling witnesses and the infamous “hearsay testimony,” which could prove to be the most damaging to Peterson’s defense. In her continued analysis for the Bugle, Director of Paralegal Studies of Lewis University Huma Zia , JD, surmises that the prosecution has had some victories in their case with the trial court judge allowing for hearsay testimony. The most

notable hearsay testimony of the prosecution witnesses comes from Mary Parks and Kristin Anderson. “The prosecution did a nice job bringing out the relevant testimony of those witnesses,” Zia said. Judge Burmilla allowed testimony from neighbor Kristin Anderson that Peterson broke into the house and told her he could kill her and make it look like an accident. Zia said the fact that the trial judge allowed such testimony is not that surprising, considering Burmila had stressed that he would consider all potentially

hearsay testimony on an individual basis. Zia reminds that “hearsay, or statements not based on the direct knowledge of a witness,” is not usually admissible in court. However, Illinois judges can allow “hearsay” testimony in murder trials under certain circumstances. “Here, the Illinois Appellate Court, in this specific situation, gave permission to the trial court judge to consider hearsay testimony on an individual basiswhich is exactly what Judge Burmila is doing,” Zia said. Further comments by Bolingbrook Police Officer James Coughlin were also allowed.

“My life would be easier if she was just dead or died,” Coughlin said he heard Peterson say. Peterson’s attorneys tried to have the testimony thrown out. Though the judge ruled that prosecutors committed a discovery violation by failing to disclose that the officer disputed his FBI account but still allowed the testimony. The defense is set to call their witnesses this week as the trial continues to play out. The defense has to assert that the prosecution did not meet its burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Zia explains that the defense also will attempt

to prove that the reason there is no physical evidence is because there was no crime and that it was in fact an accidental death. Also this past week, Peterson’s son, Khris Peterson removed his name from the wrongful death civil suit. However, Zia believes that the act will not have a major impact on the case. “While a plaintiff in a civil case can be a witness in a criminal prosecution, and the evidence in both cases can be similar, it is important to note that a civil case and a criminal case are in fact two different cases with two different purposes,” she explains.

Bolingbrook Jubilee opens this weekend Started in 1990, the Jubilee began as an expanded version of Pathways Fest, in celebration of the Village’s 25th year of incorporation. Several years later, the Pathways Parade moved to September and the Jubilee became a stand-alone event.

Village, Edward Hospital enter reciprocal agreement By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The village of Romeoville and Edward Hospital have entered into an agreement that will provide various reciprocal earning opportunities for the area’s emergency care personnel. “It is an excellent opportunity to continue the education of our personnel with a well-established hospital and a group that is well respected,” said Mayor John Noak.

The arrangement affords students in Edward Hospital’s EMT-P education program to obtain field internship experience in a Romeoville ambulance. In return, allows Romeoville paramedics and EMTBasic students to access Edward Hospital facilities and personnel for educational purposes. “This is very impressive and is a superb opportunity,” agreed Trustee Joe Chavez.“It’s the best move for us.” katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Planning after school activities for your kids can be easy, fun Fun and learning can extend beyond the classroom. From music and the arts to organized sports, after-school activities can help kids stay active and make lifelong friends. Here are some great tips to keep kids active and engaged during the afternoon:

enrollment.

the car.

• Listen to your kids: As much as you would like your child to participate in certain activities, don’t push too hard. Let them explore all their options to find activities they actually enjoy doing.

• Sign up early: Many programs fill up fast. Be sure to sign your kids up for programs as soon as possible to ensure their

• Make scheduling convenient: If your child is active, you will be too. Plan activities close to home or school to limit time spent in

Whether you’re setting up play dates, forming a time-saving carpool or heading up the PTA, mommy calling cards from an online stationery store like Minted.com is a unique way to make an impression, and share your contact information quickly with teachers, coaches and other parents. • Go informal:When the weather

is nice, consider organizing an impromptu neighborhood bike ride or soccer game. If your child is artistically inclined, invite his or her friends over for craft time. • Encourage academic interests: At-home supplies can inspire your child to get excited about learning.A science kit,for example, can be found at any hobby store and will augment lesson plans with fun hands-on experiments. Personalized journals for kids, will encourage your young writer

to put pen to paper and compose stories or essays. • Don’t overschedule: As with everything great in life, moderation is key. With rich, full school days, homework and afterschool activities, don’t forget to give your kids time to unwind. With the right after-school programming, you’ll be sure to keep your kids safe, active and happy, long after the bell rings.

Help your kids be more active after school If your children are like most kids, they are spending more time indoors than ever before. A 2010 Kaiser Family Foundation study found that children ages 8 to 18 engage in over seven hours of electronic media each day. Some experts warn that all that time indoors can take a heavy toll on children’s health, contributing to attention difficulties, hyperactivity, obesity, a diminished use of senses and even a disconnect from the real world. “American children are losing a vital aspect of healthy development as they spend less time riding bikes, climbing trees or doing much of anything outdoors,” says Kathy McGlauflin, Director of Project Learning Tree (PLT), a non-profit organization that trains teachers to incorporate environmental education into school curricula.“Today, children spend most of their time indoors -- largely because that’s where all the electrical sockets are.” According to McGlauflin, teaching children to understand and value nature is vital to raising the next generation of environmental stewards and even to improve children’s performance at school. Here are some fun ways to cure nature deficit disorder: • Brainstorm with your children’s teachers and principal about ways the school can incorporate learning in the outdoors and provide a healthier

environment for students and staff that promotes ecological sustainability, reduces waste and teaches students to be environmental stewards. • Have your child help sort the recycling at home. Visit the recycling center to see how it all works. • Encourage your child to adopt a local tree and get familiar with it. Revisit this tree on a regular basis throughout the seasons, recording observations in a journal. • Take a walk through a local wooded area, park or even your own backyard. Observe wildlife and plant life, paying special attention to fallen logs to learn how decomposition works and get a better understanding of microhabitats. Look for signs of animals including insects and plants in, on or around the log. • Go for a bike ride around your neighborhood for exercise, quality time and some fresh air. • Plant a garden together to improve your family’s nutrition and create something meaningful. You’ll diversify your meals with fresh local produce and teach your child about the life cycle of plants. Choose flowers that will attract an array of hummingbirds and butterflies to admire. Getting children outside is an important aspect of child development and can contribute

to student achievement and a healthy lifestyle. This school

year, be sure your child takes some time off from television,

video games and the Internet to explore the great outdoors.

Forum Letter to the Editor

Romeofest 2012 Our village has had a Romeofest for about 30 years. Before this time, it went along with our Founders Day Parade in September. Our Romeofest has grown greatly. There are many people (young and old) that come to this event from all over the state of Illinois. I am writing this because anyone who has not participated - should give it a try next year. They will not be disappointed. My job (I am a Golden Ager) was to sell bingo sheets for our club. It was truly enjoyable, because we all worked together to help our club. Teamwork - as in our village is what has put us (over the top). As you play bingo you do get excited when you only have one number to be called - especially the $300 amount on Sunday night. Everyone was laughing, smiling, and talking to each other, including strangers. It was very uplifting to me - and I am sure others. I did not purchase any food (ate at home) but Jim and many others advised it all was delicious and reasonable. The bands we could hear were not too loud, but impressive. One of our workers really enjoyed

(The Beatles). The carnival rides were enjoyed by all. The funnel cakes are always a must for most people. It was so good to hear the shouts of fun from everyone on the rides. The truly best part of this Romeofest was, and is, the magnificent fireworks on Friday and Sunday night. Whoever contributes - please NEVER stop. I was fortunate to sit out in the field with a wonderful exValley View bus driver named Marilyn, now retired. She was truly enjoying herself. She was clapping, laughing, smiling and shouting. Her eyes were large and all lit up. She told me later, she is just like a kid viewing the fireworks. It was great for me to watch her. As our village continues to grow - it is the residents (young and old) who identify the good things of working and playing together. This is what makes our nation and village great. It is our TEAMWORK and TOGETHERNESS in our community that too is outstanding. Shirlee J. Pergler Romeoville

After losing nine seniors from a year ago to go along with the head coach, it is hard to know what to expect from this year’s Spartans squad.

VOLLEYBALL However, there is talent there and some experience, which should help Romeoville remain competitive. “We’re hoping to get our team together and strong and hoping everyone stays together,” Romeoville senior setter Danielle Neugebauer said. “Hopefully we will do good and win.” “I’m excited for everyone to come out and work hard and do their best,” Romeoville senior outside Jaelin Mankins said. “I feel like as long as we try our best then that is the best we can do. If we come in to practice and try our hardest, we should have a successful season.” It will be up to new coach Deb Fehrenbacher, a former assistant coach, to mesh the large amount of newcomers with the veterans. “It’s going to be as lot different because we have a lot of younger people,” Neugebauer See VOLLEYBALL, page 14

VOLLEYBALL Continued from page 13 said. “I think that if we really push ourselves, we can be as good as we were (last year).” “It’s hard with all of our seniors gone (from last year) because most of them were our starters,” Mankins said. “We just have to try our hardest and see how it turns out.” “We will be doing a lot of blending,” Fehrenbacher said. “Not only do we have a lot of new faces on the team, but we also have a new assistant coach in Brittany McMillon. It possibly makes it a transition year, but do I expect more than that, absolutely. There’s enough here. We have one transfer from Wheaton North and everyone else has been a part of the system.” In order to find success, it will take hard work and a lot of teamwork. “We have to work for it and push as hard as we can,” Mankins said. “We have to stick together as a team,” Neugebauer said. “Because if we don’t, we’re going to fall apart. As long as we stay together, I feel we will be successful.” The Spartans who do return will gain confidence from the impressive performance they had in a regional semifinal loss to Waubonsie Valley to finish last year. “For most of us, that was one of our best games of our lives,”

Mankins stated. “Being able to come into the season off of that is pretty helpful. It showed us we can do it.” “It showed us what we’re up against and how good we can be,” Neugebauer said. “Even though our season did go down a little bit, we definitely did bring it up and we knew we could do it.” Romeoville brought up a pair of sophomores who should provide an immediate impact, including setter Jasmine Benitez. “I wouldn’t pull those kids up if I didn’t expect something out of them,” Fehrenbacher said. “I expect a big year from Jaelin. She did some great things over the summer, so we expect a lot from her. Gianna Dever is a

Sports junior middle who is the tallest kid in the program and will be our middle.” A lot of the teams in the conference are in a similar boat to Romeoville as they have lost a lot of seniors from last year. That could balance out the Southwest Prairie Conference after three teams (Plainfield Central, Minooka, Oswego) won regionals last year. “Plainfield Central is going to be strong, we saw them over summer,” Fehrenbacher. “They are huge. They have height. We all lost a lot, we lost nine. Hopefully we can get over those growing pains quickly. “We will have 11 matches under our belts before we start conference.” staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Last year the team chemistry was a bit of an issue, but that is expected to be resolved this year. “The boys have had a great summer of training and are ready to have a breakout year,”

Cirrincione said. “Most of the players have been together over the last two years, so team chemistry should be great this year. We are still a really young team trying to make gains in the program yearly.” In the conference race, Plainfield Central has won the past six titles. Last year it was shared with Oswego East. The Wildcats’ coach believes this could be the best the conference has been. “Both Oswegos are extremely talented as is Plainfield North and East,” Central coach Kevin Fitzgerald said. “South was the

Our conference is probably stronger than ever so the conference season should be really interesting.” Cirrincione agrees with the assessment. “The SPC conference should be a good test to see where we have grown,” he said.

Karns announces first recruiting class Lewis University head women’s swimming coach Roger Karns introduced his firstever recruiting class on Aug. 8 as Haley Balko (Crown Point, Ind./ Crown Point), Montana Clasby (Cedar Falls, Iowa/Cedar Falls), Kinsey Coble (Lafayette, Ind./ Lafayette Jefferson), Elizabeth Harris (Albuquerque, N.M./La Cueva), Mackenzie Kummer (Addison, Ill./Addison Trail) and Hannah Yancey (Orange Park, Fla./Ridgeview/Daytona State College) will join the Flyers this Fall.

LEWIS “I am very excited by this group of swimmers,” Karns said. “They bring both strength and depth to the team and that will be key for us as the program continues to grow. “In addition to their excellent athletic skills, this is a group with strong character and determination.” Balko (freestyle/butterfly)

earned four varsity letters at Crown Point where she was part of an All-America 200-yard medley relay team. She was a member of the Crown Point Swim Club for 10 years. “Haley is a sprinter from Indiana who is also solid in the butterfly,” Karns said. “She has extensive experience with a very good program and we look for Haley to make great contributions.” Clasby (breaststroke/ butterfly/IM) qualified for state each of her four years at Cedar Falls High School. As a senior, she finished fourth in the state in the medley relay and broke the school record for the 100-yard breaststroke. Clasby finished sixth in the state in the 200-yard individual medley as a freshman and ninth in the 100-yard breaststroke as a sophomore. She helped Cedar Falls finish second in the state as a freshman and fourth as a senior.

“Montana will make an immediate impact in our breaststroke events,” Karns said. “Montana’s time progression in recent years has been impressive and I believe we will see continued growth.” Coble (sprint freestyle) earned four varsity letters at Lafayette Jefferson where she was a sectional champion and state qualifier. “Kinsey is a quick sprinter,” Karns said. “She has some very solid swims in sprint freestyle events and we will be looking to expand her meet program as she takes on new races in college.” Harris (middle distance/ butterfly) is a four-time state qualifier and helped La Cueva to four top-three finishes in the state championships. As a senior, Harris earned four top-seven finishes at the state meet, including the 100yard butterfly (4th), 200-yard freestyle (5th) and as a member of the 400-yard freestyle relay

(2nd) and 200-yard medley relay (7th). “Elizabeth is an extremely versatile swimmer whose biggest impact will be in middledistance and distance freestyle,” Karns said.“She has a great deal of big meet experience and should transition quickly into the college swimming format.” Kummer (sprint freestyle) qualified for state her junior and senior year at Addison Trail. She was an all-america honorable mention selection as a senior. She also swam for the Addison Park District where she held five team and three DuPage Swim and Dive Conference records. Kummer also held two records while swimming for Ultimate Swim Club. “Mackenzie will bring increased depth to our sprinting corps,” Karns said. “Look for Mackenzie to stretch into middle distance free and back as her college career progresses.

“Her speed will bring both depth and strength to our relays.” Yancey comes to Lewis via Daytona State College, where she helped the Falcons to a pair of National Runner-Up finishes in 2011 and 2012. As a high school prep at Ridgeview, Yancey was a fourtime regional qualifier in both the 50 and 100-yard freestyles and a three-time qualifier in the 100-yard backstroke. “Hannah brings in a strong backstroke time and has some great freestyle speed,” Karns said.“Look for Hannah on Lewis relays as well as making great contributions in her individual events. “Her previous college swimming experience will give her an immediate leg up.” Lewis opens the 2012-13 campaign on October 20, as the Flyers will participate in a triangular meet that includes Grand Valley State and host Hillsdale at 12 p.m.

Forest Preserve District of Will County’s Newest Preserve By Phil Besler

While many forest preserve districts have been cutting back services and even sites, the Forest Preserve District of Will County is expanding its offerings and is set to open its newest venue this fall. Lake Chaminwood Preserve is located on Shepley Road, just west of the I-55 frontage road, in Channahon. I had the chance to preview this site with Don Strle, a fishing partner of mine, in late July. Though a morning thunderstorm cut our outing short, we weren’t disappointed with the results of our brief excursion. Within 10 minutes, Don hooked into a 19-inch, fourpound plus largemouth bass on a plastic crayfish bait jigged on the bottom. A few minutes later, I caught a 14-inch largemouth on a tube jig also off the bottom. Soon after these fish were caught, the skies opened up and let loose with a torrential thunderstorm. Both Don and I look forward to getting back to Lake Chaminwood and fishing the full lake when it opens this fall. Besides largemouth bass, Lake Chaminwood is stocked with black crappie, channel catfish and blue gill. Lake Chaminwood Preserve encompasses 120 acres with 47 acres of water.The east lake is 12 acres in size, and the west lake is 35 acres. The two lakes are connected by a channel through an earthen embankment. Other site amenities include: •Picnic shelter with two grills. •Twenty-one parking spaces for cars only. No trailer parking is available. •A latrine. •A trail: 0.7-mile asphalt loop around the east lake, 10-feet wide and including a 136-footlong boardwalk/bridge. The trail is suitable for hiking, crosscountry skiing, snowshoeing, bicycling and in-line skating. •Information board. •Wheelchair-accessible canoe/kayak launch.

•A 9’x22’ fishing pier. •Boating: Only watercraft that can be carried on top of a vehicle are permitted, i.e. canoes, kayaks and small boats (electric motors only). The parking area is too small for boat trailers. •Shoreline fishing is permitted. Caution may be needed as the shoreline is steep in many areas. •No drinking water will be available at the preserve, so visitors should bring water with them. Will County Board Member Don Gould, whose district includes Lake Chaminwood Preserve, is looking forward to the opening of this new District property. “I’ve spoken with many residents in Shorewood and Channahon who are eagerly awaiting the opening of our newest preserve, Lake Chaminwood, which will provide even more recreational opportunities in the TroyChannahon area,” said Gould. “I encourage families to visit this site when it opens, and enjoy shoreline fishing and picnicking during their leisure time.” Future plans for the site include a canoe portage between Lake Chaminwood and the DuPage River. It would be on land owned by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Fishing at Lake Chaminwood will be allowed year-round, however ice fishing will not be allowed. Only line fishing is permitted. Anglers may use a maximum of two poles, with no more than two hooks each. Swimming, wading, and dogs in the water will be prohibited. Taking frogs, turtles, and mussels will also not be allowed. All statewide fishing regulations apply, including daily creel and size limits. Illinois fishing licenses are required for everyone 16 years or older. All statewide fishing regulations may be obtained from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

THE BUGLE AUGUST 16, 2012

Focus on getting results, not apology Q. I have to work with another team and manager who treats me and my team badly. I keep trying to get him and his team members to see that the way they act is unprofessional. The manager gets huffy and his team members get hostile. How can I get them to behave appropriately? A. You will get them to behave better if you realize your goal is future change and not admission of guilt for past wrongs. When we are upset about other people’s behavior it is common (but not effective) to focus on getting an apology. However,

the more we try to point out another person’s bad behavior, the more the other person will want to blame us or defend their actions. When we use words like “inappropriate” or “unprofessional,” the person who hears these “accusations” will fight to be right rather than change. Consider carefully whether your goal is to make this manager and his team feel bad or whether you want collaboration in the future. Realize that you absolutely cannot have both. You are completely normal in feeling injured. When we feel offended, we all want some kind of emotional validation or revenge. Unfortunately, if you let your feelings of victimhood run your behavior, you’ll lose any

shot at getting this manager to shape up. A powerful tool in the workplace is to let people who have made mistakes save face. Let them defend their behavior, explain their mistakes, or even blame you without getting into a fight. Not attacking them back is emotionally very unsatisfying but it allows you can get the real prize - permanent better treatment in the future. Be aware as well that the worse someone’s behavior, the more likely it is that they will not want to take responsibility for screwing up. Little mistakes are pretty easy to own up to. Big mistakes make people feel guilty. Really guilty people will almost never want to admit they were completely inept or absolute jerks.

If this aspect of human nature seems unfair, think of the worst thing you have done in your life and then consider how much you would want to take public responsibility.You will now have a better understanding that the more deeply you have been done wrong, the less likely the other party will be eager to take accountability. You may believe you’ll need the patience of a saint and the personality of Buddha to focus on change rather than getting an apology. You will discover choosing to get what you want eventually becomes more satisfying than trying to extract admissions of guilt.

The last word(s)

Q. Is there a good reason that some people seem to obsess

about unimportant details? I don’t understand why my coworker is trying to control everything, including what I eat for lunch. A.Yes, the more people feel out of control about the big issues in their life, the more they try to control the small issues with everyone around them.

What to know when choosing health care providers Nothing is more important than the health of your family. So when it comes to selecting the right heath care providers, it is vital to do careful research and come up with the right choices for you and your loved ones. When it comes to selecting a doctor,most of us are very particular and know what to look for. Things aren’t necessarily so clear when it comes to selecting other types of health practitioners, such as health care providers, rehab facilities, longterm care facilities and others. “It’s always important to equip yourself with some background

knowledge and to use it to ask plenty of questions of any potential health provider or facility that will be treating you or a family member,” says Paul Grace, President and CEO of the non-profit National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy, Inc. (NBCOT). The experts at the NBCOT recommend these tips as you search for a certified health care provider: • Ask if he or she is certified, and if so, by what board or authority. Certification and accreditation are designed to ensure that health professionals are qualified, capable, and prepared to perform the

required services. • Request documentation to confirm certification. • Question the provider about his or her level of education, training and experience in the desired field. • Inquire about any specialty certifications or other skills that might apply to your needs. • Ask for references and perform independent research to determine suitability to provide the care. Finding the right rehabilitation or long-term care facility in the event of an injury or ailment is just as important as finding a health

care provider. Always make sure facilities provide evidence that they are qualified to perform designated clinical activities and have met certain quality standards. • Ask management if the facility is currently accredited, and if so, by what board or authority. • Ask to see relevant documentation to confirm its

commitment to excellence and evaluation. • Ask about how the quality of care is measured and monitored by the facility. • Check the benchmarks by which the facility is compared to on the regional and national level. • Review client satisfaction surveys and perform independent research on each potential facility.
