Austism Clinic

Program Information

Students interning at the Autism Clinic will gain a better understanding of what autism is beyond the DSM-V definition through daily interactions with autistic clients and families. Supplemental instruction about sensory processing, neuroaffirming practices, and a direct insight into lived experiences of autistics will be covered in depth.

We are searching from an intern who is hands on and loves to engage in play based, neuroaffirming experiences that promote motor skill aquisition and social growth.  Someone who is curious, isn't afraid of asking questions, and open to challenging preconceived perspectives about disability. 

Health & Safety

Interns may see some dysregulated clients which could result in some minor physical injury (an item being thrown at them or incidental bodily contact from flailing) or emotional distress from the event. Interns may also be exposed to families who are in distress and seeking conversation to get additonal professional supports or services.
