Program Reviews

Our tour guide Wilson, and driver Caass, were truly what helped make the trip so so memorable. They were amazing. Wilson went out of his way to make sure 2 girls who lost their watches while going cave tubing had it returned. He always chose the best spots for food and even doing the activities. Wilson also helped translate for us whenever working with mainly Spanish speaking clients.They should truly be full time Therapy Abroad guides because they helped make the trip so memorable. Super grateful

This was a great experience for myself and my students. I brought two first year graduate audiology students and one third year graduate audiology student. The four of us was a great group, and my third year got a lot of leadership experience. My first years were able to learn how to test with fewer resources, and with more efficiency.

Any more information coming in would have been very helpful and would love to help give information to future people.
Others should know you should bring as much equipment and devices as able. Rechargeable devices would be strongly preferred.

This experience was filled with enriching environments that fostered my growth and confidence as a student clinician! I’d recommend this to all students looking to grow in their clinical, cultural, and educational skillset! The food was amazing and the Therapy Abroad staff were so kind and helpful! For those who are more shy and reserved, this is also a great way to connect with others on the trip! It was so fun to explore and learn together. Additionally, it was a great way to learn more about different cultures and the traditions that are important to them.

This was an amazing trip. The clinical experiences provided were unmatched and Therapy Abroad did a great job connecting us with members of the community. While the hotel rooms were small for three people, the hotel was always clean and the staff was friendly. The food options every day were delicious, and I liked how some days we got options so we could fully enjoy the eating experience. A highlight outside of the academics was definitely Secret Beach, and it was the perfect way to celebrate the end of a long trip.

I had so much fun in Belize and learned so many new skills while becoming more confident in my practiced skills!! The food was delicious and everyone in the community was so nice! I was able to find some local art in the market that I can’t wait to hang in my apartment! I loved the beach day and really enjoyed being able to relax on the last day of the trip. This trip challenged me and pushed me out of my comfort zone more than I was expecting. I was able to quickly pivot while evaluating children in order to work with their strengths and needs. I also feel like I deeply developed my report writing skills and now I feel much more comfortable doing this in the future.

Belize is such a beautiful place and everyone is so kind and friendly. The food was amazing, loved it so very much. My favorite was chicken teriyaki and they also have great coleslaw, but I am coleslaw lover. When we provided therapy we did believe that we would be in classrooms and not outside which I didn’t mind being outside but more resources would have been nice. The kids however did love being outdoors and didn’t mind the heat whatsoever. The housing is what you would expect, nothing luxurious but felt more like a lodge. Also remember they have small pipes.

I participated in the 12 day clinic based SLP program in San Ignacio and Caye Caulker, Belize. As a first year graduate student I felt this trip was the perfect was to strengthen my growing clinical skills in a supportive and collaborative manner. I could not have been more blessed with the amazing students and supervisors that participated in this experience alongside me. Miss D’Lya and Alexa truly are the definition of excellence in regards to supervisors and genuine people. Truly an eye opening experience culturally!

I had an amazing time on my trip to San Pedro! It was so fun to emerge myself into a new culture and meet so many new people! Tykes Camp was such an amazing experience and I loved getting to work with the kids! We were also given the opportunity to try so many new foods and participate in Belezian traditions such as drumming, a Gurifuna cooking class, going to the iguana park, and so much more! It was such a good mix of doing therapy and having fun! I would totally recommend San Pedro to anyone that is interested in going aborad

I had such a great time on this trip! I learned and experienced so much as I do on every Therapy Abroad trip. The new experiences, food, and people that you spend this time with also add to the experience! The things you see and experiences your experience on trips such as this are unforgettable and truly once in a lifetime. Not only are the trips degree specific, but they provide opportunities for you also learn about culture and see amazing things. I would recommend these trips to everyone! Therapy Abroad never disappoints!

My trip gave me so much clarity if I am interested in humanitarian audiology. I really enjoyed this trip and the experiences I was given. It taught me to be confident in the skills I learned and to be flexible and roll with the punches. I liked that we were able to screen at the airport. It was really interesting what we saw and how workers at the airport don’t use or even in the culture don’t have hearing protection. I think that really showed me that it different with protecting your hearing culturally especially in a place that is super loud.
