Practicum & Observation Opportunities in Early On Settings
Are you a college or university faculty member looking to connect students with real-world early intervention experiences? The EO Center for Higher Education can help bridge the gap between higher education and Michigan’s Early On programs to support the development of future early intervention professionals.
This resource page connects you with Early On Coordinators from all 56 service areas across Michigan—an excellent starting point to build relationships, explore practicum or observation opportunities, and create meaningful partnerships.
Interested in Becoming a Practicum or Observation Site?
We’re always looking to expand practicum opportunities for preservice students across Michigan. If your Early On program is interested in supporting the next generation of early intervention professionals, we’d love to connect with you!
Contact Kari Holmberg at holmberg_k@ccresa.org to learn more or express your interest in becoming a practicum or observation site.
