  Fieldwork I
  As a fieldwork student at the UPMC Western Behavioral Health at Mon Yough facility, I work directly with adults with intellectual disabilities, supporting their engagement in contract work, crafts, and recreational games. I facilitate opportunities for social interaction and skill development, encouraging participants to connect with their peers and enhance their social participation. Through this hands-on experience, I have developed a deeper understanding of inclusive practices and the importance of creating an environment that fosters independence, collaboration, and personal growth.
