Volunteer Hours Reflection
During my undergraduate studies in the field of Communication Science and Disorders, I volunteered regularly at local events and elementary schools. I have spent over two hundred hours working in conjunction with teachers, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists to assist in educating adults and children who experienced difficulties in the areas of speech, language, reading, writing, and math. These volunteer hours exposed me to diverse populations, various ailments, and differential diagnosis in south and central Florida. Most of my hours were geared towards working with children and adolescents who have been diagnosed with non-verbal and/or autistic disorders.
