Welcome to Connecticut
With the amount of travel I do around the country, it is really exciting to be holding our first Connecticut Therap Regional Conference this week.
While this is not the first conference we have held in Connecticut, (the first few National Conferences were held in Southbury) this is already the largest!
Yesterday we had a great set of discussions on all sort of topics and I’m looking forward to more today.
This is also a great time for folks in Connecticut to remember to join up with our Connecticut users group. This has proved to be a very successful forum for Connecticut Therap users to get together and discuss their Therap processes and issues with each other. The group is coordinated by Stan Soby at Oak Hill, so if you haven’t joined in yet, give Stan a buzz and he’ll invite you to be part of the group using Doodle to find a time to meet.

Manipulating ISP Reports in Excel
I was working with Mary-Beth and the fine folks at Oak Hill on getting their ISP Data Reports just the way they want them.
They have standard prompt levels which are scored 1 through 5. At the end of the month they like to have an average score for each task and overall.
By putting the full name of the prompt level in the Caption and the number in the acromym/label for the scoring method I was able to do the following thanks to a couple of simple tricks in Excel.
I was also able to use GoToMeeting to very easily record the process for them and help them out with their training.
Do you have examples of how you get data out of Therap just the way you want it?

Wednesday in Waterbury, Connecticut
Our friend Bill from Helena, Montana has a habit of sending us photos of the weather our there. Today's was of the snow outside his office and the snow drifts a colleague had been dealing with.
I responded with a couple of my own and then realized that we are forever posting photos of all the great places we go, but never of sunny Waterbury, so here goes:




Our office is actually under the Hairdresser sign (they moved out and we took over their space, just haven't got around to sliding our sign over). Even today, six months later, someone was in looking for a trim!
Kris is doing a nice job decorating, so maybe I can follow this up with some internal photos when he is all done.
While we may not have the most scenic office, the parking lot smells great! Being next to Big Frank's BBQ makes you hungry the second you walk out the door.
In fact, this is a tremendous location, you can find just about anything within 10 minutes of our office.
