Description: The Special Needs Unlimited Group (SNUG) program of the University of Newcastle’s Family Action Centre conducts camps for children with special needs and their families in rural NSW. At the camps, families access much-needed respite, support and healthcare. SNUG also provides undergraduate speech pathology students with the opportunity to augment their clinical education by becoming SNUG volunteers. Through the camps students experience strength-based, family centred practice and gain insights into the lives of families living with special needs. This paper addresses the theoretical framework and skills required by SNUG volunteers, and the potential benefits for students in an intensive non-traditional learning environment.
