On December 13th, 2023, Al-Alsun students visited AlGhad AlMoshrek School for Special Needs as a requirement for the ENG 427 Topics in Linguistics course.
The students prepared an observation checklist that they used while observing speech therapy sessions and literacy classes for children with Down Syndrome, Autism and Cerebral Palsy. This was followed by a session where the students received answers for their questions from the director of the school, the teachers and the speech therapists. The students reported that the field trip was highly beneficial in providing real-life observations that align with their theoretical knowledge.
