Study Abroad Programs in Dominica

My Therapy Abroad trip to Costa Rica was truly one of the most meaningful experiences I have had! I loved the opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture while learning more about bilingualism and providing services in a different setting. This trip allowed me to grow as a future speech-language pathologist by expanding my clinical knowledge, improving my cultural awareness, and gaining valuable hands-on experience. I enjoyed connecting with the community, learning from local professionals, and building relationships with my peers. I will always appreciate the memories, lessons, and personal growth that came from this unforgettable experience.

My trip to Costa Rica was the perfect burnout buster before returning to work for the new school year. The only details I had to attend to were deciding what amazing activities to squeeze into our free afternoons. Chad attended to every logistic making the trip an stress-free experience. The energy among the group of SLPs and the insightful coursework made me feel proud of my profession and validated in my practice. Bilinguistics has so many resources for bilingual speech-language caseloads and now I feel more prepared to go back to work with tools to work more effectively. We all felt the spirit of Pura Vida! I look forward to my next trip with Therapy Abroad.

I have traveled with Therapy Abroad and Bilinguistics and I had a good experience overall in terms of obtaining CEU sessions, comfortable stay and airport transportation. Therapy abroad has a very systematic way to make the international travel experience comfortable for the participants and their families. I will recommend it to any SLP planning a summer travel for both learning and experiences outside the United States.

First exposure to Therapy Abroad. I attended as a guest. Great location, wonderful group events, well organized and supported. Loved meeting everyone and felt very welcome even though I am not attending for workshops. Would definitely attend another!

This is my second time traveling for the International Conference on Multilingual Practice in Speech Language Pathology. Both times I've had a wonderful time. Therapy Abroad's leaders have a lot of experience in cultivating experiences like this (and traveling in general) and it really shows! Everything is well organized in advance and hosts are easy to contact with questions. Once in the country abroad they make things easy for participants as well. It's been so much fun and I've learned a lot. Can't wait to go for a third time!

This is the 4 th time that I have attended one of these conferences with Bilinguistics and Therapy Abroad. This year’s event was outstanding. The city, the hotel, the way it was organized were remarkable. The therapists that attended were fun, engaging, and energetic. The information that I received was so valuable. Each year it’s different. I always gain something new that I can apply as soon as I get back to work. It’s like looking at your favorite movie or reading a favorite book only to discover things you missed the first time. Scott and Ellen are top tier presenters. Overall, if I have a chance to come a 5 th time I will. It’s that good. I recommend it anyone whose interested in this area.

There used to be a lot to do in the Jaco area, but most activities are more strenuous. I enjoyed Ellen and Scott who are both exceptional speakers and knowledgeable in their field, and met a great bunch of people. The trip was well organized and I would highly recommend it.

All of the conference days were well organized. The presented material was meaningful and practical. Ellen and Scott are very knowledgeable and shared their wealth of information with us. They also shared the numerous freebies on their Bilinguistics website and encouraged us to share with others. I will be able to easily implement their ideas, strategies, and suggestions! Costa Rica was a beautiful country to visit! There was so much to do in Jaco. Additionally Chad, from study abroad, was very helpful and kept us updated on the schedule and travel logistics. It was a wonderful experience

Visiting Costa Rica with Bilinguistics has been a unique and life-changing experience. I’ve been given the opportunity to not only visit a place that I’ve never been but to connect with other Slp’s who are seeking information and support. This is my second trip with therapy abroad and Bilinguals and it will not be my last.

Costa Rica was a wonderful space to host the bilingual speech pathology leaning summit. Our presenters were knowledgeable and presented useful information and resources. Jaco was a fantastic area to explore. Highly recommend therapy abroad.

Not only were the presentations amazing, but so were the activities that were available. All the food was amazing, and all the people we interacted with were friendly. Can’t wait to come back here on my own!

Participating in this Costa Rica experience was truly memorable. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with like-minded speech-language pathologists from across the country who share a passion for learning, collaboration, and serving others. The educational content was relevant and provided valuable insights into Costa Rica’s community-centered healthcare system, offering perspectives that I can apply to my own clinical practice. One suggestion for future programs would be to incorporate more opportunities for cultural immersion and interaction with local communities. While we experienced many beautiful places, additional cultural experiences would make the program even more meaningful. I would also love to see more advanced clinical content or specialized breakout sessions for experienced SLPs, as some of the educational material felt geared toward clinicians who are newer to the profession.

I’ve been to many conferences on my own professionally but none of my conferences have the option to add a guest as a participant. I think this idea is a fantastic one and one we hope to engage with in the future. It’s great to be able to accompany my partner and be a part of the experience, not just alongside it. We’ve also met many like minded people, which is a plus!

Had a great time accompanying my wife on this trip. Wasn't sure what to expect but it was a very fun time that exceeded expectations. Everything was very well organized. I would definitely do another trip with Therapy Abroad if given the opportunity.
