Around Touro
#FBF Second year School of Health Sciences occupational therapy (OT) students recently enjoyed a special visit from preschool children on the Long Island campus. Students learned how to create plans and implement interventions for kids in need, a critical part of any practitioner’s role. “Having these preschool children come to class was a great opportunity for us students to gain on the ground training on how to best create an intervention plan. We learned in real time how our ideas may not always work according to plan, and may need to be adjusted on the fly according to the mood of the child and to fit their unique abilities. Overall, I really enjoyed being able to collaborate with my classmates, as well as the children and their parents to provide a fun and welcoming environment for everyone,” said student Payton Calloway.
March is Social Work Month! Touro University Graduate School of Social Work (GSSW) students joined with their peers throughout the state in Albany on March 12, where they participated in the profession’s annual Legislative Education Advocacy Day (LEAD). They met with key elected officials in the Assembly and Senate and advocated for “Kyra’s Law” and other child safety legislation. “I’m not sure if I would have experienced the process of getting a bill passed at any other time in my life. The process was interesting, and I gained another level of appreciation and respect for those who are constantly working towards change on the policy level,” said Touro MSW student Tasha Pope. “Also, being able to connect with other MSW students was amazing - sharing stories, supporting each other, and giving advice was probably the best part. LEAD DAY was exactly what I needed to keep pushing forward!”
Happy Women’s History month to all of the strong and inspirational women in our faculty! 💪✨#internationalwomensday #womensupportingwomen
Touro's occupational therapy (OT) students from the School of Health Sciences participated in Advocacy Day, an annual event where students and practitioners reach out and work directly with key legislators on topics that affect the occupational therapy field in New York. “This year's Advocacy Day, in partnership with the New York State Occupational Therapy Association, was an experience that I will never forget. It was such an honor and privilege to speak with legislators about issues and concerns of the occupational therapy community. This day also helped to create a deep bond between my classmates in the OT program from both the Manhattan and Long Island campuses, our professors, and other OTs working in the state as we united to advocate for a profession we’re all very passionate about." -Deanna Aquino, a School of Health Sciences OT student
