He drew attention to the inseparable interrelationship of the sub-components of regulation and the effect of the skills formed according to the developmental age on our personality.
Regulation is one of the working areas of Occupational Therapists within the scope of Occupational Therapy sessions. Children or adults are in different environments in their daily lives and have different experiences. Therefore, individuals may experience emotional transitions in life and may encounter problems in providing regulation. Occupational therapists' imagination and talents touch the lives of their clients, making them independent and enabling them to spend quality time. Msc Occupational Therapist Hazal PURAL stated that she often recommends regulation strategies such as correct breathing techniques, accepting emotions, music therapy, yoga, and mindfulness to her clients.
Our speaker ended his speech after answering the questions from the students who participated in the event. Assistant Head of Occupational Therapy Department Lecturer. Cagil ERTURK thanked our guest speaker, Msc Occupational Therapist Hazal PURAL.
