Occupational therapy connections continue in Ethiopia.
Highlights include:
·
Five occupational therapy students from Belgium
and Sweden are completing their practical placements and research in Addis
Ababa with children with intellectual delays
·
We will train staff of Ethiopia’s first home
health company on hygiene in home care, transfers, exercise techniques, and the
basic tenets of occupational therapy
·
We’ve made a fabulous connection with Ethiopia’s
only speech therapist to support her work to expand from cleft palate to
children with other developmental delays and for her to support our work to
grow the field of occupational therapy
·
We attended a symposium on supporting new
medical schools throughout Ethiopia and learned valuable information regarding
program development for the upcoming occupational therapy degree program
