Student Clinician/Intern
Miami Dade Public Schools
01.2025 - 04.2025
- As a student clinician, I evaluated and treated students with a variety of communication disorders, including speech sound disorders, stuttering, language delays, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and pragmatic language difficulties. I administered and interpreted standardized assessments, wrote evaluation reports, and developed individualized education plans (IEPs) in collaboration with the IEP team. I attended and actively participated in IEP meetings, collaborated with teachers and support staff, and provided both individual and group therapy sessions. I also incorporated curriculum-based goals and supported carryover of skills across academic settings while maintaining detailed documentation of student progress.

- As a student clinician, I provided evaluation and treatment for adult patients across acute care and inpatient rehab units, including individuals with post-stroke impairments, tracheostomies, and those in the ICU. I conducted bedside swallow assessments and cognitive-communication evaluations, and participated in treatment for dysphagia, aphasia, dysarthria, and apraxia. I assisted with and observed Modified Barium Swallow Studies (MBSS), Videofluoroscopic Swallow Studies (VFSS), contributed to care planning, and collaborated with physicians, nursing, and rehabilitation staff. I also educated patients and families on safety strategies and therapy goals, and documented all clinical services using Cerner in accordance with hospital protocols.
