Undergraduate Internships Working with Children with Autism Spectrum DisordersUndergraduate internships are available through the Fraser Autism Day Treatment Program. This program serves children between the ages of 2 – 7 with an autism diagnosis or related disorder. In order to apply, watch the employment page for the Developmental Trainee (DT) position. When the position becomes available, apply and notify the HR representative that you are interested in an undergraduate internship during the interview. If hired, be sure to notify the DT Coordinator that you are completing an internship so that you can discuss your school’s internship requirements. This is a paid internship opportunity. We are looking for a semester-long commitment even if you finish your hours early. This improves consistency and treatment for the children enrolled in the day treatment program. |
