• Casa Colina Children's Center

 Interpretive

     What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

• The most important thing I gained from this experience was learning what the role of a speech pathologist is and how much of an impact they have on children with speech impediments. This was a valuable experience for me because I was interested in going into the field of speech pathology and it gave me a chance to actually see for myself I will like working in that environment. 

   Applied

     How has what you’ve done helped you to answer your EQ?  Please explain.

• My EQ is "What is the best way for a speech pathologist to help a child with Autism communicate?" and for my mentorship I observed speech pathologist treating children with speech impediments. A lot of the children that I observed were diagnosed with Autism, I saw how speech pathologist treated them depending on what they were working on. I also observed a therapy session titled "Kid's Crew" where they treat children diagnosed with Autism and help them practice social skills, it has helped me answer my EQ because I have been working with Speech pathologist and observing how they help children with Autism communicate.

*Please do not turn in your mentorship hours to the office.  After we collect the total list from all seniors, we will turn in one piece of paper with all hours for everybody.  It is counted as 50 hours of the 200 you need in order to graduate from I-Poly.  The 10 hours in the summer have already been added to your community service total.
