      This section is wonderful. I think you can make the entire website a little more streamlined by combining this page with the first one. Also, the linked in page askes me to log into my linked in account (which I don't have) rather than leading me directly to yours.

    1. Below I have provided a journal reflection I typed up for myself on this experience for anyone interested in hearing more on why this opportunity meant so much to me and what all I did and observed during this experience.

      Please shorten this long sentence; I appreciate you providing the reflection. I am hesitant for you to use it since it can be misinterpreted as patronizing or condescending--e.g, "individuals...who are probably feeling lost, lonely, and forgotten". While this may be true in some instances, in other cases you may be making the wrong assumption. There may be individuals who feel like they have a role, friends, and safety in the prison environment which may be better than what they had experienced prior to incarceration. You and I may not be able to wrap our minds around this but we cannot make assumptions about how people feel, unless they say so specifically. There are probably people in all walks of society that feel lonely and forgotten--not just in the prison system. You may be right about some of them, but you may be wrong about others.

Neither of these programs currently provide occupational therapy services to their interns; therefore, I was able to advocate for and explain the unique perspective of occupational therapy within these settings by preparing and leading meaningful group sessions, assisting with adapting occupations such as cleaning and cooking as needed for each individual intern, and educating the other team members (primarily special education teachers, educational assistants, and job coaches) on what they can do to support interns who may be experiencing sensory processing challenges or behavioral issues.

      This is a very long sentence. Please revise, break it up into separate sentences to make it easier to understand and read.

      what does this mean? does it mean that they are still eligible to receive support services through the education system until age 21?

    7. Liberty’s Station, which will be a job training program for individuals with disabilities who need supported employment as well as for individuals with various employment obstacles such as post incarceration, homelessness, and addiction

      I recommend two things: describe Liberty's Station earlier in the portfolio, in the previous section, and rewriting it in present rather than future tense.
