Program Reviews

This trip was a trip of a lifetime! I had the opportunity to travel alongside 16 other students from my undergraduate program at UGA. I definitely recommend getting a group together & going with people from your school! It made for a great adventure for all of us that I’m sure we’ll talk about until we graduate! & it helped we all at least knew of each other. We did a 7-day program over our schools spring break. We packed so much into 7 days but it was so fun! We had a great mix of both work and fun activities! We were able to do screenings in preschools and were accompanied by 2 wonderful SLP supervisors that Therapy Abroad found and placed with our group. The SLPs were so knowledgeable and very relevant in the field of Speech Pathology. I learned SO much from them, especially since both of them had two different areas of expertise within the field. We were immersed into the culture of Belize and were able to learn a lot about the country from our interactions with the locals there. Therapy abroad did a great job of giving us plenty of exposure to the culture in the areas of Belize we visited. One of the days we did a walking tour of San Ignacio led by a local guide and it was eye opening and very informative. We also got to go to the Maya ruins which was so cool!!! Also the food was delicious!!! Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend this program to anyone seeking adventure and some hands on experience in the field of Speech Pathology!!!

There was a lot packed into the one week we went to Belize. It was a beautiful country with lots for us to do and amazing experiences. There was great food, great hotel rooms/cabins, and beautiful scenery. Group flights made traveling easy and it nice to pay everything up front so we didn’t have to worry about anything while on the trip. This trip was a good mixture of educational experience, vacation, and fun. One thing that really stood out to me was how nice and accommodating everyone was in Belize, especially at the hotels we stayed in.

This was definitely one of the most amazing and memorable experiences I've ever had. The Therapy Abroad staff were extremely knowledgeable and offered a great deal of support throughout the entire trip. We were able to complete many clinical experiences, including screenings, evaluations, and therapy sessions and work with a wide range of clients. We also were able to have many adventurous and cultural experiences, like visiting the Mayan cultural center and Mayan ruins and going ziplining and snorkeling. I learned so much about the culture in Belize and had an amazing time interacting with the different communities. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience and I will be forever grateful that I was able to be a part of it. I learned so many new things and gained a great deal of confidence as a clinician. The housing was very clean and safe, and all of the staff members we interacted with were extremely accommodating and welcoming. I'm going to remember this trip for the rest of my life and take all of the skills I learned with me as I continue my clinical experiences. I thoroughly enjoyed every single day of the trip, and I would tell anyone who has the opportunity to go that it is so worth it. I already want to go back!

I can not express how amazing this experience was. From traveling all over the country to getting to know locals, to the delicious meals and so much more, I miss it already. The people we met and the opportunities we were given, have provided me with an education that you can't study for. Being exposed to another culture has been a great way to continue being culturally humble. The Therapy Abroad employees were there for us for everything. They taught us so much about Belize and the amazing culture they have there.

Overall, this experience was outstanding. We felt so much support from Therapy Abroad both before our trip and while we were in Belize. The housing was clean, safe, and comfortable. Our itinerary kept us busy and fully emerged us into the culture of Belize which was all of our favorite parts. The activities that were planned for us were very enjoyable and exciting. We had the best trip and learned so much about the Belizean culture and were exposed to so many new things. I would highly recommend taking this trip with Therapy Abroad. It was life changing for all of us!!

I learned so many clinical and life skills from this trip with Therapy Abroad. We got to experience cultural activities as well as fun adventures that can be checked off my bucket list like snorkeling and ziplining in the rainforest. The people of Belize were all so welcoming and kind to us. It was a perfect mix of excursions and clinical experiences, our schedules were packed and full of variety. Therapy Abroad made everything so easy by organizing every meal and transportation. I would definitely do this trip again!

I loved my experience! Once in a lifetime, I would do it all again in a heartbeat. We got to meet great people, eat great food, learned so much about speech therapy, and did so many fun things. We ziplined, toured mayan ruins, got to stay on the beach, and had amazing experiences along the way. If you are thinking of going, don’t hesitate! Truly a once in a lifetime experience that I will treasure together. We all miss Belize so much already! The food was also so good (lots of rice and beans and chicken, but also so yummy)

This trip was unforgettable. Not only did I grow so much in my own clinical skills and confidence as a clinician, but I had so much fun. Belize is a beautiful country full of wonder and so much to learn, and I would not have had the experience I had without the wonderful staff that supported us throughout the trip. I felt safe but also the freedom to explore with my trip mates. I learned so much about culture and myself on this trip. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable trip!

The trip was well-organized, with every event planned to the minute. We always knew what was happening the next day. We consistently ate delicious food that catered to everyone’s needs/wants. There was a perfect mix of academics/clinic work and fun. Through this trip, we met so many inspiring and kind people. It was a very welcoming place with kindness everywhere. The activities, like zip lining and snorkeling, were a lot of fun and felt safe. There were a few creepy people in Caye Caulker, but it didn’t interfere with the fun.

Absolutely loved being in Belize for 10 days. I wish I never had to leave. San Ignacio was the best part and I wish we could’ve stayed the entire time. It was the best experience ever, and absolutely loved every person I met. Jaime and Justin were absolutely amazing and knew exactly what we needed and how to answer all of our questions. We had the best experiences providing speech therapy services to the country and miss every little client I had. This program gave me clinical opportunities I wouldn’t have had at my school
