Practicum/Paid Practicum: Work integrated learning is an important part of the program. During these periods, for unpaid practica you will be placed in service agencies where you will work with individuals with disabilities. For paid practicum students will secure their own placements. The program must approve these placements and will provide guidance and support. The remainder of the program focuses on classroom course work. The courses and practica will provide you with skills to enable you to support individuals with disabilities.
Workplace students, that is, students with two or more years of full-time experience working for services funded by Family Services, will be eligible to complete a Practica Challenge.
