Custom Graduate Speech-Language Pathology Program in Belize

There was equal amounts of having fun and learning new stills and topics while on this trip. I highly recommend it to any student that is planning on going into the SLP field. I now have over 30 hours of observations and learning. I got to meet so many amazing peers who enjoy our field and build connections and relationships. I also got to work with SLPs who have worked in multiple states and countries to ask them questions about their daily lives as an SLP. On our days off, we got to hang out together doing things such as swimming, tubing, ziplining, and snorkeling.

Therapy Abroad was an amazing and worthwhile experience! It allowed me to build my clinical skills, meet new people, build better relationships with my friends, and encounter amazing adventures (cave tubing, hiking), foods, and cultures! Everyone was super helpful and supportive, and the advice I was provided will be very beneficial in my future career! Do not miss this opportunity to help others, step out of your comfort zone, and grow your love for speech therapy! Also, this trip is perfect for a students of all experience levels!

This week was one of the most impactful times in my life. Therapy abroad allowed me to take new perspectives, grow closer to my classmates, and re-spark the passion that pulled me towards speech pathology! I could not recommend this program and beautiful country more. I will definitely be coming back!

This program provided hands on unique experience that opened my eyes to different cultures and needs. Belize's diversity was one of my favorite parts of the trip. I learned valuable lessons and skills that I will take with me as I return back to school. I believe that this trip made my cohort better clinicians in many aspects.

It was a great experience being to able meet so many new individuals and learning about the culture. The clinic director did a great job planning out all the activities and providing us with everything we needed. This experience has left me feeling like a more confident SLP. Being able to come on this trip allowed me to see a wide variety of children with different diagnoses that I would not have been able to experience in my own school clinic. I am very grateful for this opportunity and the experience.

I am so thankful for this program and the experience it has given me this past week! I feel like I have grown so much as a clinician in just one week! It has also made me try new things in my everyday life and pushed me beyond my comfort zone! The program was the perfect amount of work and “play.” I also enjoyed the supervisors and director because they seemed to truly care about us as professionals, but also wanted us to enjoy every moment we spent in Belize! I highly recommend pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and traveling abroad!

This trip was unforgettable! Therapy Abroad planned and organized our trip perfectly with great flexibility. We had the perfect balance of clinic & adventure. Not only did we gain an incredible amount of experience in Belize, but we also had a great time doing it. I feel as if each individual in our group grew in the short time we were here & I will forever recommend this company. This experience has made me a better clinician in many ways & I will never forget the families/children I got to meet. Thank you, Therapy Abroad, for providing us with such a great opportunity!

Our trip to Belize in April 2021 was life changing to say the least. It was well organized with more learning opportunities than I could have ever imagined. The families were amazing and it was an honor to participate in parent education with them. I highly recommend this trip for any SLP’s; especially graduate clinicians! It was an amazing experience and I hope to come back very soon! Chad and his staff are amazing. We had flexibility with everything we done during the trip! The food was amazing!

Traveling with Therapy Abroad in Belize is a once in a lifetime opportunity! The trip is incredibly organized and is the perfect combination of clinical experiences and exciting adventures on the weekends such as cave tubing, zip lining, and visiting an island. Attending a Therapy Abroad program is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with clients while also learning about and being enriched in a new culture.
This trip was especially meaningful to me, with my favorite and most impactful part being client home visits in local villages. This study abroad experience has truly allowed me to appreciate the profession of speech-language pathology and the power of helping others communicate. The SLP supervisors on my trip were resourceful, supportive, and overall incredible mentors. I will always be grateful for this opportunity and unforgettable trip. I highly recommend a trip with Therapy Abroad for anyone who is considering a career in speech language pathology, or for anyone who would like to further their studies in the field of SLP.
