Hello friends! I am new to the thread and joined to get some help deciding between a more specialized practicum vs. general practicum in my PhD.
Typically, is it recommended to start with general practicums first and then specialize (spending 1-year doing assessments and ABA intervention with children with autism)? I've received mixed advice - some saying go general then specialize and others saying experience with autism is an asset and to worry about the breadth of experience later (since I will have 3-4 more practicum opportunities after this one).
What do you all think? Thanks for the help!
