Name:<\/strong> Julia Gerger, BSc
\nJob description:<\/strong> Speech theramist
\nCompany:<\/strong> Heila Jordaan, freelance speech therapist
\nPlace:<\/strong> Johannesburg, South Africa
\nMy contact:<\/strong> j.gerger@gmx.at
\nI did my internship from March to April 2010.<\/p>\n

What I did<\/h4>\n

I observed Heila Jordaan, a freelance speech therapist, during her treatment sessions. This allowed me to get to know a different culture and logopedic approach. I also attended lectures at WITS University in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

Why I enjoyed my internship<\/h4>\n

I was able to get to know a South African speech therapist in person and exchange ideas with her. I also wrote my Bachelor’s thesis with the aid of WITS University online library and that was very helpful.<\/p>\n

What I learned<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Group therapy for neurological speech problems<\/li>\n
  • Multilingualism in the treatment of neurological speech problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    My biggest success<\/h4>\n

    During my internship, I wrote a Bachelor’s thesis I am really proud of.<\/p>\n

    How I secured the internship<\/h4>\n

    I searched the internet for international speech therapy associations. As part of that, I came across the speech therapist Heila Jordaan, based in Johannesburg in South Africa, who is a member of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics (IALP). Thanks to the excellent international links of our programme head, Angelika Rother, I quickly established contact with Johannesburg. Professor Heila Jordaan is a speech therapist and Associate Professor at the University of Witwatersrand’s Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology in Johannesburg. <\/p>\n

    What I want to do in the future<\/h4>\n

    I was really impressed by my internship and it expanded my horizons for my future in speech therapy work. The English-speaking world has different forms of treatment to here in Austria. It was an interesting and exciting time and has shaped my subsequent work.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
