'The perfect match': College students with physical disabilities earn internships with Fehribach Center - AUBREY WRIGHT, Indiana Public Media

It’s been years since Paige Moore started looking into college internships. As a freshman at Indiana University, there weren't many options. First, paid internships were hard to find. And then she had to find somewhere that helps people with disabilities. Moore is hard of hearing, and she uses a sign language interpreter. She felt like she was at a disadvantage.  Then she found the Gregory S. Fehribach Center at Eskenazi Health. An Indiana University senior in neuroscience, Paige Moore plans to work after graduation before going to graduate school. Moore is one of 195 college students with physical disabilities who have been matched with internships thanks to the Fehribach Center, Director Larry Markle said. Those students have participated in about 400 internships in and around Indianapolis.
