This specific program in occupational therapy by the Miguel Hernández University of Elche is unique and pioneering in Spain, offering graduate-level education to occupational therapy graduates interested in examining and receiving training in the various treatment approaches that occupational therapists utilize in neurology.
Among the fields of action in occupational therapy, neurology, without a doubt, occupies a prominent place. Patients with nervous system diseases often suffer limitations in carrying out activities in their daily lives, and the work of an occupational therapist can help them obtain a higher degree of functionality, become more independent, and, in short, enjoy fuller lives. If we want neurological patients to benefit from all the therapeutic means available, we must learn, among other things, the fundamentals and potential contributions from occupational therapy.
