Under the guidance of Lecturer Suzan Aydın, Occupational Therapy department students visited a private education center on Friday, May 17, 2024. This meaningful event was of great importance in terms of providing students with the opportunity to put their professional knowledge into practice and interact with individuals with special education needs.
During the visit, students had the chance to closely interact with both the educators and students at the center. Occupational Therapy Department students reinforced the theoretical education they received by observing which methods and tools can be used to facilitate the daily life activities of individuals with special education needs. They also improved their own skills by observing various occupational therapy techniques.
Special Education Center officials stated that such visits are a great gain for both the individuals at the center and the students, and emphasized that such events should be repeated frequently. At the end of the visit, the students once again understood how important occupational therapy is to improve the quality of life of individuals with special education needs and reinforced their commitment to their profession.
Lecturer Suzan Aydın stated that such events have an important place in the education of students and thanked everyone who contributed to the visit. Ergotherapy Department students completed their visit with the desire to make the most of these valuable experiences they gained in their future professional lives.
