Why this Project...

I plan on studying occupational therapy. Occupational therapy is a field that quite often works with children who have difficulties performing everyday tasks. This often includes special education students. In this project I will be exposed to special education students and learn more about them, how they think, feel and react in certain situations, particularly social situations. I will also be able to better understand how to engage them and make them feel comfortable. It is also necessary to be able to communicate and work with parents and guardians of these children in order to ensure proper progress in order to benefit the child. We will be involving parents, as far as they would like to be in order to create a safe and enjoyable environment.
