THE EDUCATIONAL PROJECT

The project and the patient
How can we help people with disabilities to manage their daily lives?
Patients can regain independence through rehabilitation and creativity, by learning through games as well as the simulation of professional and social situations. The layout of the physical environment and the modification of the workstation or classroom are important for the reintegration of people with disabilities.
The program in occupational therapy at IFE Assas helps in developing skills for the care of such patients. The quality of education is based on the students’ acquisition of the knowledge, know-how and skills required to be a qualified occupational therapist.

Assas ErgoEnhancing professionalism among occupational therapists helps to create a conceptual and practical approach for the maintenance of functional, intellectual and cognitive abilities through work and human activity. This feature takes into account the lifestyle of the patient, through numerous evaluations and treatment plans. The actions range from the prevention of disabilities to end-of-life care. Thus, this “biological, psychosocial, systemic and transversal vision of health” takes into account the context and the culture of the persons concerned.
