INTERPRETIVE 
Defend your work and explain how the significant parts of your component and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work.   Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc) of the 30 hours of work.  
I was able to get a print out of the amount of hours I currently have in my whole volunteering at the rehabilitation center I volunteer at 30 of those hours are for my independent component and the rest are toward my mentorship component.

 

 

APPLIED
How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better?  Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped. 

I was able to receive expert help on learning the basics of Autism and really understand the role and the job of a speech pathologist in both social and communication aspects of their disorder. For example when I would observe therapeutic session the speech pathologist I was observing would explain to me the disorder the child had and what they did in the therapy session to work on it.

I was able to have a field expert helping me and was able to get experience, for example when I volunteer at kid's crew I am able to see different social skills that are taught to children with autism and that helped me with my 30 minute presentation because that is what I based my first answer on and without having that experience I would not have been able to get this far.
