Using innovative implementation science approaches and existing data, the PATH team will identify common bottlenecks to the effective scale of these assets across various contexts and will develop theories of change, supported by in-depth country studies, to determine how to leapfrog or unblock these.

My name is Della Norton and I am the Healthy Athletes Manager with Special Olympics Washington. Healthy Athletes is a Special Olympics program that provides free health examinations in a fun, welcoming environment that removes the anxiety and trepidation people with intellectual disabilities often experience when faced with a visit to a medical professional. I’ve attached a flyer with more information about our Strong Minds Healthy Athletes Screening.

Strong Minds is an interactive learning activity focused on developing adaptive coping skills. Competition provides a natural opportunity to develop active strategies for maintaining emotional wellness under stress, such as: thinking positive thoughts, releasing stress and connecting with others. Athletes learn about and try a few different active coping strategies as they move through the stations. Before exiting, athletes identify the strategies they like best and volunteers provide them with visual reminders to use these tools in competition and in daily life.

Application period: Apply by July 15

Applicants must complete TWO separate applications as part of this process. They should be submitted at the same time:

Interview dates:July 22 to August 2
Final intern selection: August 12 (if selected you must follow the UW’s Student International Travel Policy)
Placement start date: January 20, 2020 (*subject to internship pass approval)

If accepted into an AKU internship you must maintain your status as a student at the University of Washington for the duration of your placement by enrolling in Independent Learning through UW Study Abroad.

Students applying for internships in Karachi, Pakistan will have their travel waiver request reviewed by ITRASC, the UW’s travel risk and safety committee. The likelihood of approval will depend on the applicant’s familiarity with Pakistan. The committee will consider factors including, but not limited to, extended periods of residence in Pakistan and knowledge of Urdu. The UW’s Global Travel Security manager will contact applicants to Karachi positions for an initial assessment of their suitability for internships in Pakistan.

The University reserves the right to cancel or alter, at any time, any international program, internship or activity when, based on a review of the relevant information and resources, it is determined that there is undue risk to the health and safety of students in a particular destination.

• Questions about the specifics of individual internships should be directed to the AKU Programme Coordinator at aku.iip@aku.edu.
