Occupational Therapy:
Russia and Kyrgyzstan
By: Departement for International Development - Britain -
Russia Partnership
“The
purpose of the project is to train up to forty people from Kyrgyzstan in
Occupational Therapy ….and to develop the new profession of Occupational
Therapist (rehabilitation worker) and to provide a centre for training
people for this profession…. The Trust and Association [Social Workers
Association – Russia] would promote the manufacture of small items …
to allow the employment of people with disabilities.
“The final component will be to help the trainees
to gather their skills to train others…” (From the RET –
Application)
An important result of the major TACIS Social
Services project has been a growing interest at senior levels of the
Russian Government in occupational therapy, a previously unknown
discipline in Russia. The RET has launched a number of projects in this
area for Moscow, the regions and Kyrgyzstan and there are more in the
pipeline.
