Professional Education/Pre-Occupational Therapy Internship
Elizabeth Miryam Joy McGuire was a senior at Walsh University completing her baccalaureate studies with a major in Professional Education/Pre-Occupational Therapy when she completed an internship with Rehab Educators during the fall of 2020, serving as an OT Aide. She worked with a variety of types of clients with an OTR in their homes and in the OT clinic. She also completed a special project with the seventh grade students at St. Hilary School in Fairlawn. Beth studied American Sign Language (ASL) prior to entering college, and completed 3 college level courses in ASL at Walsh. She was invited by Mrs. Trish Hoffman to teach the 7th graders at St. Hilary's about the deaf culture, and to instruct them in some sign language. Beth prepared lesson plans, taught the students to sign the Our Father, and instructed them in how to sign a special song that the students sang to promote diversity and respect for all.
Beth is now a full time Registered Behavioral Technician at Hopebridge Academy, a center for children who are on the autism spectrum.
*Beth prepared the video below during this internship for the seventh grade students to practice signing the song, "Together We Can Change the World."
