Observation/Site Visits

This week, September 10, we will discuss the two site visits or field experiences you must have for this class.  We will look at the rubric for report you will need to complete which will assist you in knowing what to look for and note when you are observing. 

THESE DO NOT HAVE TO BE IN CLASSROOMS!

One way that you can do this is through the Lexington Parks and Recreation.    Ms. Anessa Snowden has experience working with EKU students to get hours at the therapeutic recreation day camps. 

She is looking for more volunteers for the fall programs so it is a good possibility that you could assist her and get your hours at the same time.  These therapeutic recreation experiences are a wonderful way for you to see children with disabilities as children first and engage  in a way that only playing can do.

Here is Ms. Snowden's contact information so you can reach out to her to arrange a time to go and observe or assist with the activities there.
