They asked me why I came to them and what I was looking for out of this experience. We had many sessions over a couple of months. This process was to make me feel more comfortable with the center.

I communicated via email with the internship coordinator. It didn't feel like a real interview; they mainly asked about my availability and what my duties would be. They also inquired about my college, major, and extracurriculars. The questions weren't difficult, mostly focusing on general information about me and my experience with people with intellectual disabilities, as well as my interest in mental health careers.
