SEMO Communication Disorders Students Provide Life-Changing Care in Belize

Thirteen Southeast Missouri State University communication disorders students traveled to Belize City, Belize for a faculty-led study abroad course, where they provided much-needed speech-language and audiology services to children with disabilities at the Therapy Volunteer International Clinic and Stella Maris School. Guided by Dr. Samantha Washington and Dr. Susan Fulton, the team conducted evaluations, therapy sessions, hearing screenings and hearing aid maintenance. The students' work filled a critical gap while giving them invaluable clinical training, cultural humility and personal growth. Participants earned both academic and clinical hours, gaining real-world experience that reflects SEMO's commitment to high-impact learning and global engagement.
