It is a clinic within a school for children with disabilities. From 4 months old to 21 years old, but most of the patients you'll see are between 1 - 3 years old. 

"Mondays through Thursdays are the days they see the most patients. It is a relaxed environment. The children can have unpredictable schedules so there may be a few cancellations, so you might find yourself cleaning toys, reading over the articles the PT gives you, or doing special projects."

"This is a really cool environment becuase you are able to observe both the PT and the OT during therapies and see a good variety of situations. The PT and OT love when the students show up on time and are professional and ask a lot of questions."

"You don't get to do much besides observe with the patients but you are able to run a Fit Club where you design a program, which can be really fun."

"The supervisor is very nice and helpful and creates a comfortable/fun environment to be in."

"Worth it if you like pediatrics"
