The lecture addressed a number of topics related to important aspects of occupational therapy, its origin, objectives, assumptions, mechanism, evaluation phase, and various treatment programmes.
Chairman of QSRSN Sheikh Thani bin Abdullah Al Thani stressed the importance of occupational therapy for people with special abilities and its effects on the progression of cases in many psychological, kinesthetic, verbal, behavioural, and other aspects.
He said QSRSN stresses the need to pay attention to rehabilitation and training programmes with scientific bases, including occupational therapy, because of its influential role in improving cases and pushing them towards independence and self-reliance in various aspects of life.
He said that they must include rehabilitation programmes commensurate with the type and difference of cases registered with the association, in cooperation with the active institutions in this field and the competent authorities in the country, to achieve comprehensive rehabilitation, which helps in the rapid development of the capabilities of people with disabilities in all aspects of psychological, social, verbal, educational, subjective, self and other aspects.
The lecture touched on the importance of occupational therapy in enabling people with disabilities to carry out their daily functions safely and with a high degree of self-reliance and help in their effective integration and participation in society.
