We have accessed excellent university students from diverse fields including Occupational Therapy, Speech Language Pathology, Recreation, Kinesiology, Medicine, Early Childhood Education, and Psychology. All bring their various strengths and abilities. The last half hour of each morning is spent in a Team Meeting discussing the morning's activities. These students have the opportunity to gain hands on experience with many children with autism, providing them with valuable experience which may help them in their chosen career paths. Many students have made class presentations on various components of the program for course credit. .
