•	For child claimants, I would review education records and teacher evaluations. I would review all file documentation upon the arrival of a disability claim. I would manage a case load of around 100-200 claimants. I contacted claimants and other parties to complete forms and other documentation needed to process disability claim.   
•	For each claimant, I would develop an adult physical and/or mental residual functional (or RFC form). For children, I would create childhood developmental assessments. These assessments document diagnoses and other objective evidence such as sign, symptoms, and lab/test results for all alleged disability impairments. The assessments address a claimant’s capacity to function based on knowledge of physical/mental conditions and how disease can impact a claimant’s ability of function
