Program Reviews

Therapy Abroad helped create the most amazing and educational trip I have ever been on. From the extracurricular activities we were able to go on to the therapy and people we were able to work with, Therapy Abroad made sure every aspect went above and beyond our expectations. I met and worked with people and facilities I will never forget. I gained a different perspective to life from cultural responsiveness and appreciate to the clinical skills. I gained experiences I would never be able to any where else. Therapy abroad created a program to help students learn and grow as people and future clinicians. On top of that, they’re hospitality and willingness to help others was extra bonus to the beauty of this trip.

I have been back now for three days and I am still reminiscing my time in Belize. I can’t stop going over all of the different clinical experiences and excursions we were able to experience. Doing therapy abroad made me a more confident clinician, a faster report writer, and a more well rounded clinician. I was able to build my clinical skills up in Belize and see a handful of clients, but I was also able to strengthen skills I already had. I could not recommend going on Therapy Abroad more to anyone.

I learned so much about myself and the many cultures and languages that are a part of Belize during this amazing trip! We were able to go zip lining, cave tubing, snorkeling, and explore San Ignacio. We were accompanied by amazing tour guides who made our journey that much more fun. As a speech language pathology graduate student, I participated in valuable experiences including completing evaluations in a skilled nursing home, leading group and individual therapy sessions, and building meaningful connections with the residents.

I had the best time with Therapy Abroad in Belize! The hands-on experience was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I feel as though I grew both as a clinician and as a person. Justin and Jamie were so helpful in every aspect of the trip and made this an unforgettable experience. The excursions were both exciting and educational. I enjoyed visiting the Maya Women’s Group and learning how they make their own food, embroider, and make pottery. My only complaint is that I wish the trip lasted longer!

This trip was life changing. Not only did we get to experience the amazing beaches, cultural sites, views, food, etc, we got to make a difference and provide services to the most amazing, appreciative people. Everyone we encountered on this trip was so helpful and eager to make sure we had the best time possible. I felt taken care of and prepared by the therapy abroad staff the entire time. This trip was organized so well, and we got to experience many different things that Belize has to offer. Highly recommend this amazing experience to anyone interested.

Truly the best experience I’ve ever encountered! I learned so much about effective, compassionate, and culturally, responsive service delivery. At the same time, we had so many adventures with the tour guides and the locals. I would not trade the experience for anything else. Additionally, I got to know my classmates and clinical educators better. I would highly recommend this study abroad opportunity to anyone seeking a better clinical understanding, and for adventure seekers. Therapy abroad is the best!

This trip exceeded all my expectations! It was wonderfully planned and organized! There was a perfect balance between work and play. I felt that we were able to immerse ourself in the local community. It was great to be able to provide speech and language services to clients from 3 years old to 100 years old. We had the opportunity to see a variety of clients in different settings. Belize was a beautiful place to visit and we got to experience the sites on the main land and also the island. The activities were amazing. It was so much fun to experience Belize with this group of people!

I couldn't have more good things to say about this trip if I tried! This opportunity brought me so many meaningful experiences and opportunities that allowed me to grow as a person and a clinician, and I feel so much more confident in my skills. This trip allowed me to build connections with the people we met during excursions and clinical experiences, and also grow stronger connections with my cohort members and clinical educators. I'm so grateful for everything I got to do and learn during this trip, and I'll definitely never forget it :)

This trip was amazing! I learned so much from the clinic experiences and became more confident in my abilities to provide therapy. I loved getting to hear about the history and culture of Belize and all of the excursions that we got to take part in throughout the week. Every single person who made this trip possible was super helpful, accommodating, and fun to get to know throughout our stay. I was able to grow professionally and become closer with other students in my graduate cohort because of this trip!
