CECO offers college students the opportunity to work hands-on with children and adults diagnosed with neurological motor disabilities, such as cerebral palsy. A majority of CECO’s interns are undergraduate students pursuing degrees in Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Early Childhood Education, Exceptional Student Education (ESE), Psychology, Pre-Medicine, and related fields.

​

This internship is ideal for individuals who are ambitious, self-motivated, enjoy working with children and adults, and are seeking experience with a diverse population. It is especially valuable for those interested in gaining hands-on experience working with individuals with motor disabilities.
