Open Education Faculty | Disabled Care And Rehabilitation

In spite of medical and technological developments, the rates of infants, children, adults and elderly individuals with special needs have been on the rise in recent years and parallel to this, demand for health, care and social services has started to emerge. The emerging demand for rehabilitation and care of a greater number of individuals with special needs increases the need for intermediate human resources working in this field. Disabled Care and Rehabilitation Program has started to gain great importance with this intermediate human resource. Within this scope, new associate degree programs in the field of disabled care and rehabilitation have started to be opened by a few universities of health occupation high-schools at national level. However, considering the fact that more and more private and state-supported care and rehabilitation centers are in service every day, the Disabled Care and Rehabilitation Associate Degree Program has been opened in order to eliminate the lack of human resources in this field in our country. With the Disabled Care and Rehabilitation program, it aims to provide a standard and systematic training for the human resources currently working in the field of disabled care and rehabilitation as well as in the training of human resources who will work in this field. The aim of the program is to train qualified human resources who can provide support to health professionals who are experts in care and rehabilitation services and who have the knowledge and skills to facilitate and encourage the needs of individuals with special needs in daily living activities.
