student reflections

Graduate students reflecting on Summer Projects 2022. What they learned, how they grew and the impact that it had.

“Learning to find the means to communicate in a language that is foreign to me… allowed me to become a better observer and listener in order to assess and best support language acquisition and communication for my own students.”

— Liz, Special Educator, Team Peru

"I appreciated the opportunity to collaborate with the members of the community, as it provided valuable insight on how to further support access to AAC resources and access to communication while considering barriers.“

— Maryvi, SLP Grad Student, Team Peru

“Collaborating with local educators, consultants and interpreters was a highlight of the trip for me, since it facilitated deeper knowledge of the students as well as their environmental barriers and supports.”

— Lea, SLP Grad Student, Team Peru

“Sometimes, we think that we are too old to go back to school, but I want to share; ‘Never Stop Learning, Because Life Never Stops Teaching’. “ 

— Herry, Special Education Teacher, Pohnpei
