The ideal candidate is pursuing a career in OT, PT, Speech Pathology, or psychology. Interns will be responsible for assisting with set up, clean up, ensuring supplies and equipment are prepared during the daily schedule, and assisting therapists during structured groups by supporting children with special needs. Interns will participate in orientation and will be provided with written procedures as needed.

Interns will receive unique experience working with children who have special needs and gain exposure to learning strategies to support development of motor, perceptual, communication, and social skills.
Internships are unpaid but cumulative hours may be used as part of the application requirements for graduate school of for college course credit. This experience is extremely valuable and may assist those who are making final decisions about career paths.
