There are two required internships in the program, REED 626 Clinic
Internship in Reading, and REED 726 Advanced Clinic Internship in
Reading. They are both 3-unit experiences that require 45 contact
hours with clients, parents and fellow clinicians each semester. In
addition to working with one client, the students enrolled in the
advanced internship are responsible for providing parent workshops
on a variety of topics as well as serving as coaches. If a student
withdraws from REED 626 or REED 726 without consulting with the instructor,
she/he must petition the Director of the Program in order to re-enroll
in the course.

There is considerable flexibility in elective course selection in

At the conclusion of the REED 729 course, students
are required to present their Program Portfolio to new students
in the program. They are also required to submit a Portfolio Reflective
