Custom University Study Abroad & Faculty-Led Programs

Spending a week in Belize with Therapy Abroad was truly one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had. Everything flowed so smoothly, thanks to our amazing coordinators, Chad and Ms. Patty. They made us feel so supported and welcomed, and they shared their love for Belize’s beautiful, rich culture. We followed a well planned itinerary, and I got to be part of speech, language, and hearing screenings, and the hands on experience left me feeling deeply inspired and motivated to keep pursuing this path. And honestly, one of the best parts was the people. I made some really great friends who I know I’ll keep in touch with. I’m so thankful for this opportunity!

I enjoyed my time in Belize with the girls I as with and learned more about the nuances of my field. I liked getting to spend time with the faculty in an environment outside of the normal university scene and see them relax a bit and have fun alongside us! The experiences there was great like the work we did in the clinic with the kids and also the snorkeling trip! The food was great (shout out stewed chicken rice and beans from Vino Tinto in Belize City) and so were the views. The locals were open and kind when you interacted with them.

I will forever remember this trip. Traveling to Belize with Therapy Abroad has been an absolutely amazing, educational, adventurous trip. From the housing, to the organizers, to clinic, everything about this experience was great. Chad was an excellent guide and had so much experience to share. I loved all of the restaurants selected and the beaches and snorkeling were so much fun. I also built some great friendships along the way. I would definitely travel with this program again if I had the opportunity. I cannot recommend it enough! Thank you so much Therapy Abroad!

Therapy Abroad held an absolutely amazingly fun trip!! During this 6 night trip we helped kids on the island of San Pedro, Belize with speech, language, and hearing. Chad and Ms Patty were incredibly supportive and fostered a professional environment while also allowing for a great time. We had three days in the clinic where we got to experience a very rewarding environment helping those in this community. Therapy Abroad also planned a lot of tourist activities for us to do such as snorkeling with sharks, trying new foods, and seeing Mayan ruins.

I definitely recommend Therapy Abroad!!
Go Chad and Ms Patty!!

Where do I even begin…This experience has been fun and informative! I spend a week in Belize with my UH classmates and professors and I can honestly say we have come back a much closer group! I had so much experiencing the rich culture in Belize while also doing fun activities like snorkeling and the Mayan cites. The clinic portion of this trip has truly made me grateful for this opportunity. Working with the people of Belize was such a rewarding experience. My week in Belize was pact with so many wonderful memories that I will cherish forever and I cannot wait to come back !

Therapy Abroad made great efforts to keep out program running smoothly. When schedule changes were made, it was communicated efficiently. I could tell how well coordinated the program was and the time and consideration that was put into the daily itinerary. I especially enjoyed the new addition of community outreach. Being able to leave parents and teachers with resources and information about speech pathology and audiology felt more assuring. They were able to take physical resources back to their homes or schools which I saw they were grateful for. Overall, great experience!

Great experiences - getting variety of populations and settings. Would have liked clearer faculty expectations and idea of what conditions were for each setting prior to coming but we will be fully prepared now for next time. Also, we will likely do less dinners as group and allow students stipend to get other meals as too much of same food. Katie was phenomenal and is perfectly suited to what she does. The drivers were also very knowledgeable and wonderful with our students through the trip. We will be back!
