Arrive in Chiang Mai and meet the people who will share your next two weeks. Get settled, meet your program team and begin discovering how GIVE's community-centered travel and Therapy Abroad's specialized learning come together. Orientation introduces the journey, your student role and the communities welcoming you.

Practice introducing yourself, asking thoughtful questions and entering a new setting as a learner.

Step into Chiang Mai's cultural life and market atmosphere, then bring that curiosity into your Therapy Abroad preparation. Explore language access with your clinical team, practice screening tasks and start shaping camp activities. Today connects the excitement of being somewhere new with the care it takes to work respectfully across languages.

Connect your own experience of language differences with the importance of accessible communication.

Visit a farm and follow the journey onward to Mueang Khong. As the landscape changes, begin looking at health through a wider lens: food, work, place and community life. GIVE's cultural route becomes the setting for TA-led questions that connect everyday experiences with public health.

Explore how food, livelihoods and geography connect with the public health questions you will ask this week.

Your first community health visit brings the program's two strengths together: learning from local experience and asking focused questions about health and communication. Explore prevention and connections between schools and health services. Bring those insights into camp planning and locally informed materials.

Practice connecting a health message to the people, language and everyday routines it needs to reach.

Transfer to Thaton and settle into the Maekok River Village Resort base. Meet Thomas House staff and learn about children's communication priorities, group routines and the camp activities ahead.

Learn to translate host priorities into a thoughtful camp plan.

Join school-based language and hearing screening activities with qualified supervision. The day includes two hours of SLP language-service observation and a separate community health visit exploring referrals, child development and follow-up.

Observe how school staff and clinicians connect screening with family communication and appropriate next steps.

Begin your Tykes-style camp experience. Observe communication support tailored to participating children and help lead welcome routines, choice-making games, songs and shared books under clinician direction.

Begin connecting clinician modeling with your own carefully supervised role at camp.

Build on day one through stories, turn-taking games and themed play. Rotate between protected observation and supervised participation, adapting your approach with feedback from your clinical team.

Practice observing before responding, then use clinician feedback to refine an activity.

Repeat useful activities, refine communication materials and help prepare resources for everyday routines. Observe how clinicians involve caregivers or teachers when appropriate to support continuity after camp.

Think about practical resources, local priorities and continuity as part of responsible participation.

Leave Thaton and travel toward the GIVE adventure segment. Share memorable camp moments with your group and organize your reflections and observation records. This transition gives you space to connect the dedicated TA experience with the wider journey through northern Thailand.

Organize your learning while keeping clinical observation separate from participation and travel time.

Reconnect with the GIVE adventure experience through a village visit. Spend time learning about the community and reflecting on how your experience of communication, health and participation has developed.

Reflect on local expertise, respectful travel and the choices that shape a community visit.

Take part in elephant learning and rafting as the journey continues through northern Thailand. Share the adventure with fellow travelers and make space to reflect on the relationships and lessons from camp.

Listen to local perspectives and practice teamwork while sharing an adventure with your group.

Return to Chiang Mai and bring your experience together through group reflection. Review your observation records with your clinician and discuss how your learning connects to future coursework and career interests.

Turn specific experiences into thoughtful examples for coursework, future interviews and conversations with mentors.

Complete your final observation-record review before departure or the transition to a separately booked GIVE extension. Leave with new perspectives on communication, community health and culturally responsive practice.

Review your individual observation record and identify a concrete next step in your academic journey.
