This program is the perfect opportunity for people looking to gain real-world experience working with patients in speech therapy and physical therapy.
Work alongside experienced staff to treat patients with a variety of disabilities and traumas like cerebral palsy, down syndrome, brain injury, and stroke.
By interning in the speech therapy program you can expect to assist in tasks like:
- Physical therapy
- Speech therapy
- Especial education support
- Creating educational material for patients.
- Fine motor skill therapy.
The project aims to create an appropriate learning environment for people who suffer from mental disabilities or have suffered severe trauma. While attending the project, patients are challenged through a variety of specialized techniques to gain or regain motor skills, and speech. Patients also learn new alternative ways to carry on their day-to-day life.
Work is around 6 hours per day Monday to Friday, mostly taking place in the mornings.
Interns must be able to communicate in basic Spanish. If you don't speak any Spanish you are welcome to take online or in person lessons with us.
