Internships

Intern, SRCC Children’s Hospital, Mumbai

June - July 2023

During my internship at SRCC Children’s Hospital, I had the opportunity to delve deeply into the field of pediatric psychology, particularly within the EEIP department, which specializes in autism and learning disabilities. I worked closely with over 15 children, observing their symptoms and the psychological interventions employed for conditions such as autism and Down syndrome. Collaborating with experienced psychologists, I contributed to creating behavioral charts and other visual aids designed to enhance each patient’s neurological development. Additionally, I planned and executed physical activities aimed at improving motor skills, based on the advice of medical and psychological experts. This hands-on experience allowed me to develop critical thinking skills and gain practical insights into child psychology and developmental disorders. The internship was a significant learning journey that not only deepened my understanding of psychological practices but also fostered my growth as an empathetic and knowledgeable practitioner in the field of child healthcare.

Rhea has proved to be one of the most responsible and organised interns I have met so far.

Three words that would describe Rhea are punctuality, reliability and proactiveness.

Since she came with prior knowledge, she was quick to grasp new concepts and take detailed notes on behavioural patterns of each child.
