Child Life Practicum Student

• Jul 2020 - Dec 2020

A collaboration of experiences, people, and settings implementing play, therapeutic relationships, and understanding traditional and non-traditional Child Life roles. This practicum meets all ACLP guidelines and was held in the midst of COVID, which created greater opportunity for creativity and innovation. This experience provided me the opportunity to shadow and participate in psychosocial assessment, patient and family-centered care, intervention, therapeutic play, support, education, and professional responsibilities.
