Mentorship

I will be delighted to work with an intern to complete their internship hours. The student will have the opportunity to develop their research skills and learn more about a topic of interest in the area of autism and supporting parents. In addition they will develop their writing skills which will support them in their future career.

Specific supports can be determined with the professor to ensure students meet their requirements & complete the internship tasks. This may include but is not limited to:

* Meetings with student - to set & review goals and monitor project progress

* Provision of co-working tools

Other supports to be determined with professor as required.
