This internship is also available as an on-site internship.

Multidisciplinary Therapy Center for Children

The team of the private institution consists of 3 clinical psychologists, 5 occupational therapists, 7 special educators, and 3 speech therapists who work together to ensure comprehensive care. About 80% of the approximately 500 children receiving care have an autism spectrum disorder, while the remaining children are diagnosed with conditions such as virtual autism, Down syndrome, speech and communication impairments, intellectual disabilities, learning difficulties, ADHD, global developmental delay, behavioral issues, and mental health disorders.

The center offers a wide range of therapies, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Sensory Integration Therapy, Hippotherapy, Psychotherapy, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Special Education. Around 110 therapy sessions take place daily to provide continuous and structured support to the children.

The institution has specialized therapy rooms and follows an "open-door" strategy, allowing parents to observe the sessions through CCTV cameras. Regular follow-ups, assistance with home exercises, and an app help parents track their child's progress and support the process. In addition to direct therapy, the center conducts research on autism, such as the impact of diet and screen time on autism, and offers workshops with parenting tips for parents of autistic children.

Another program of the institution includes training sessions for teachers and informational events for parents. The focus is on the early detection of neurodevelopmental and speech-related divergences in children aged 2 to 7 years. The center collaborates with five partner schools to implement early intervention strategies directly in the classroom.

Remote Internship in Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy

As a remote intern, you will have access to live camera streams of therapy sessions in the fields of occupational therapy and speech therapy, which are also visible to the children's parents. Afterward, you will have the opportunity to discuss the therapy approaches with the specialists.

You will also have access to treatment records and will assist in creating patient files. Additionally, research tasks, such as exploring new treatment methods, will be part of your tasks.

Every two weeks, you are expected to submit a report on your tasks and learning progress during the remote internship.

You can determine the intensity of your remote internship yourself. Any weekly amount between 6 and 40 hours is possible. This includes joining live streams, discussions with the center’s specialists, and completing tasks independently.
