Rehabilitation and Occupational Therapy for Mentally Disabled Clients Over 14 Years of Age
Although mentally disabled children and adolescents have been pushed to the margins of social life, they are also searching for their lost dreams and hope that the barrier of their loneliness will collapse and a dignified life will be possible for them. This is only possible through education, rehabilitation and vocational training for these innocent disabled clients.
The growth and development of girls with intellectual disabilities coincides with the beginning of their understanding of themselves and their environment and the discovery of differences. The development of intellectual disabilities cannot be attributed solely to the disabilities or weaknesses of this group of girls. Despite undergoing various educational courses, most of these people are ostracized by society due to their low IQ and lack of acceptance by their families.
