This
campus-community
collaboration is
an initiative to
train students
in developing
expertise in
culturally
competent direct
practice with
the
developmentally-disabled
Asian American
population. The
internship
program is
designed to
offer a broad
multidisciplinary
experience for
students within
the human
services
fields.
Students should
expect both
practical and
theoretical
discussions
regarding human
services and
related
disciplines.
The internship
is designed to
be eclectic, in
that, underlying
orientation will
be person
centered and
evolving with
the individuals
we serve. One
major goal is
the application
and practice of
human service
work, with an
emphasis on
integration into
the community.
Through their
internship
experience,
students will
receive a better
understanding of
culturally and
linguistically
appropriate
approaches to
serve, outreach,
community
partnerships,
and care
delivery in
Asian American
populations.
The internship
builds on the
successful
completion of
the professional
foundation. It
strives to
deepen knowledge
and skills and
further the
level of mastery
in direct
practice with
individuals,
families, and
groups.
