Help Level the Playing Field

When disabled kids in impoverished areas can’t attend school, they usually have nowhere else to go.  This ProWorld program provides therapy and educational services to prepare as many kids as possible to integrate into the Mexican school system.   By promoting independence and social inclusion, more disabled kids or those with learning differences are mainstreamed into regular classrooms.  We are looking for interns in three areas:

  • Psychology
  • Speech
  • Physical Therapy
  • You’ll be responsible for:
  • Evaluation and treatment of children with disabilities
  • Preparing kids for mainstream integration
  • Monitoring the integration and socialization process
