Taylor Adolescent Program - NO LONGER BEING OFFERED

Taylor Adolescent ProgramThe Taylor Adolescent Program (TAP) is a joint project of this department and affiliated with the Montreal Fluency Centre.

TAP has openings for tutor-interns to work with adolescents who have moderate to severe learning disabilities.

Students register in the Winter semester, while the program runs September through June inclusive.

 

Eligibility

While the majority of our successful interns in the Taylor Adolescent Program (TAP) are typically undergraduate students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, students in other academic areas of study are not automatically disqualified from this program. This would be determined during the interview process held at TAP.

For more information, please visit the Taylor Adolescent Program (TAP) website.

Students who are accepted into TAP must fill out a field work contract (see below), have it approved by their site supervisor, the director of the TAP and submit it to  the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology in the Faculty of Education for departmental approval (drop off signed forms in person or submit high resolution colour scans via email to ecpundergrad.education [at] mcgill.ca (subject: TAP%20Contract)  prior to access being granted for registration). Students will be issued a permit override to then register for one 3-credit Field Work 1 course (EDPI 539, CRN 16465) in the Winter semester by the add/drop deadline, and upon successful completion of the internship, receive academic credit for their field work. Please note that these courses are graded on a Pass/Fail basis.

Tutor-interns accepted to this program will each be assigned to an adolescent. Under the training and supervision of the Taylor Adolescent Team, tutor-interns will assist in remedial planning and the implementation of effective intervention for a minimum of 150 hours. Interns accepted into this program will be given a brief orientation course and supervised through weekly training sessions throughout their internship. They will also participate in meetings and consultation with their student's family and school. This internship would be of interest to future clinicians and other professionals in psychology, education and allied fields.
