Quick question about Non-clinical EC

Hi everyone,

I have a question about a volunteering activity I did two years ago. I volunteered at a place called the "West (City Name) Adaptation Clinic", where intellectually-disabled adults would come and do various activities under supervision that would improve their motor and cognitive skills. This clinic was located inside a college, not a hospital.

I would work with the adults in various activities, directing them, talking with them and doing activities for fun.

I'm a little unsure if this is clinical or non-clinical. I am leaning towards it not being clinical, even though I directly worked with the adults. My problem is, I feel a little silly listing "Volunteer at Adaptation Clinic" as non-clinical. I'm not worried about box-checking, so I'd rather just put what seems more appropriate.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like the people were clients as opposed to patients. Were they sick or just cognitively disabled?

Just cognitively disabled, which is why I believe it's non-clinical. Maybe I should mention that in the description?

Of for sure mention it. They like descriptions and you certainly are serving an underserved population and people less fortunate than you! Good luck with your application.
