For 8 months, myself and 4 other students have worked in a home for maltreated girls. This was a practical training for us, and we chose this specialised home in order to put into practice what we had learned so far. We visited the girls once a week and supported them by strengthening their motor and cognitive skills in order to obtain a normal motor developpment.
We also had to do some plaster work, recreating medical shoes or a spinal column in order to better understand the human body.
In the classes I had in the third semester 2014, one was on the use of electronic agents for therapeutic treatments and the other one was more practical and dealt with recreational activities and exercises that can be performed on older adults, young adults, adolescents and children. So we would do swimming, soccer, or other outdoor activities to train ourselves, always in the same group.
