I deeply enjoys how many activities and experiences the trip offered. We were busy with sight seeing and have impactful educational and clinical visits. The trip offered me insight into how the Speech Pathology field works outside of America. It was to see how different the educational and licensing process is in Europe. It was also fun to hear about research their clinical professionals are doing as well as AI usage within the field. The sight-seeing was blast and taught me many historical facts as well as showed me beautiful places I have not heard of before.

I had the best time on the SLP Therapy Abroad to Belize! This was my first time out of the country, which I was nervous about, but I felt extremely supported during the whole trip. I highly recommended participating in a faculty-led Therapy Abroad trip for your first time out of the country! The culture in Belize was so vibrant and welcoming. We had a multitude of opportunities to learn more about the culture through a Garifuna cooking class, opportunity to play traditional music, and more! I earned 18 clinical hours from this trip, and they were invaluable! Having clients back to back and being limited in materials made me a more flexible clinician, and helped me recognize that clinical skills matter more than materials or extensive preparation.

Both personally and clinically this trip was an incredible experience. I had so much fun and really bonded with the students and faculty on the trip. I was also pushed to try new things and really apply my clinical skills in a unique way. If I can do therapy in a gravel field with some play doh and an iPad, I can do therapy anywhere. It was really interesting to learn about to culture of Belize and to also get a chance to experience that culture in action. I love to travel, and this was an amazing way to get some truly once in a lifetime experiences while providing services to people who need them.

I had the best time in Belize do speech and language therapy with the kids there! It was so cool to see a connection develop with the kids and their families in such a short time! Also, there were so many fun things we experienced in the country of Belize such as a cultural dinner and yoga on the beach! I would highly recommend this trip to someone who wants a new experience, wants to be taken out of their comfort zone, and wants to grow as a professional in their specific field! I will remember this trip throughout my whole career!

This experience was absolutely amazing! I was very nervous for this trip because I have never been out of the country before, but I just tried to fully embrace the culture and the experiences and I’m so happy I did! Interacting with all of the people and learning from them was so interesting! I had such a meaningful time testing everyone’s hearing and just seeing how needed it is in Belize. The only critique I have is that we didn’t always get to pick our own meals; however, I completely understand that as a big group that’s not always feasible, so it wasn’t that big of a deal! Overall, I would rate this program highly and recommend an experience like this and with this program/company to everyone!

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.
