My practicum has been going well so far. One of the main successes has been the progress I’ve made on the food safety project with my partner. We’ve successfully created materials focused on food spoilage and hand washing, which have helped me work towards my learning objective of communicating public health information in a clear and helpful way. A fun challenge has been using American Sign Language (ASL) during my presentations. Since the project isn’t just for the hearing community but also includes the Deaf community, it was important to make sure everyone could understand the information. This experience has also helped me practice more inclusive communication. Looking ahead, I’m excited to work on the upcoming anti-bullying project with my partner, which will further support my learning goal of creating strategies that improve children’s safety and well-being
