Incredible!

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!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I have never been snorkeling before this trip and I had so much fun! From swimming with sharks and stingrays to feeding the fish, it was such a great experience!

Life changing

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.

What was your funniest moment?
Killing a giant spider in our room at 2am!
Pros
  • Growth as a clinician
  • Meeting amazing local people

The best experience

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!

Belize!

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!

Experience of a lifetime!

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 :)

Amazing Therapy Abroad Experience!

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!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Keep an open mind to all of the experiences offered! Say yes and try things even if it is out of your comfort zone, because you will learn so much about yourself and others.

Incredible experience!!

My time in Belize with Therapy Abroad was full of learning, growth, and fun! The people were incredibly friendly, the food was delicious, and the excursions (cave tubing, zip lining, snorkeling, Mayan ruins, etc) were a blast. The Therapy Abroad staff made sure we were well taken care of throughout the trip and did an amazing job coordinating our clinical experiences providing speech and language therapy. We had experience with all types of communication disorders and delays across the lifespan, from 14 months to 90 years old! I would work with them again in a heartbeat!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
On one of our clinical days, my group went to a local primary school to provide speech and language screenings for preschool and special education students. It was a daunting task - we had a lot of kids to see in a short amount of time, but it ended up being one of my favorite days of the trip. I learned so much about working with bilingual preschoolers and grew from speaking with their teachers. We ended up screening 90+ kiddos and had a great time!
Pros
  • Hands on clinical experiences
  • Amazing excursions
  • Reliable and friendly staff
