Physiotherapy
Project description
In this physiotherapy project you will work at a school for children with disabilities. The main goal of this project is to improve the children’s autonomy and functional capabilities to make them happier and more independent!
The Special Education Center has around 58 Children. Besides these children, they take care of more than 35 children outside the centre, who live in other institutions.
3 professionals are focused on the education of the children outside of the centre. Within the Centre, more than 11 professionals take care of and educate the children with disabilities. The team of professionals consists of teachers, therapists, physicians, language specialists, nutritionists, and doctors.
