Being the first one in the group to make it to the airport, I thought it would be a good idea to start our blog that we promised to those who supported us! After hearing about people missing their flights even when they came 2 hours early because of TSA, I made my girlfriend drive me to the airport 3 hours early. It took me less than 10 minutes to get through everything, therefore I am the first one here. Our group is very excited to get going, this trip has been in the works for a long time. I remember applying to transfer to Regis and learning about the opportunity to work abroad. We’ve done a lot of work to get here, from gofundme and razoo accounts, to a couple yardsales and social event fundraisers, we’re finally on our way. We want to thank everyone who has supported us to get us to this point. Just to give you a little heads up about the beginning of our trip, most of us are flying to Iceland tonight and will arrive tomorrow morning at 4 am. The rest of us will arrive tomorrow and tomorrow will be a free day to get acclimated and acquainted with our living space and some of Iceland. On Friday, the work begins! We will be working with families and other professionals to assess the skills and challenges of a kiddo native to Iceland. At the end of the day, we will be providing a session for the family and professionals we worked with based off of our recommendations and what we recommend. All of this will take place at a diagnostic center and we’ll be working with infants as early as 6 weeks old! We’re excited to get started and to share our experiences with you!
