Institute for Global Studies offers internship placements aimed at the care of people with disabilities in Thailand. The position entails helping the administrative staff care for more than 50 mentally and physically disabled people. Applicants should have a genuine interest in either disability services or English language tutoring. During scheduled classes, you will teach basic communication skills in English to a group. Therefore, you should be patient and compassionate as students will be quite shy at first and it may take some time for them to consider you a familiar and friendly face. You will play a crucial role in fostering independence among persons with a disability, giving them an opportunity to help themselves. Experienced and caring staff will provide support to interns regarding any difficulties they may encounter while adjusting to the position.

We shared our English language skills and helped disabled persons help themselves by increasing their independence. On weekends, we do some trips too. And Koh Lipe. Chiang Mai, and Phuket are my ultimate favorites. :) Thank you IGS for a very interesting gap year! Thanks Dr. Adams and thanks to my mentor Miss Jia.
My placement is geared towards the care of disabled people in Thailand. Personally I was assigned as an administrative staff for physically disabled people. They cant walk since they are born. The facility is very supportive of them. We taught them how to speak English and created presentations for them. It is so fulfilling.
I am so happy that I took this internship!! I gained invaluable experience in disability services, specifically for those with issues in mental health. My patience was tested and my compassion too but it is well worth it. I can see them move on from a depressive episode and I am so proud of them. Making a lasting, positive impact on the lives of individuals with disabilities is pure bliss.
