As part of their professional training, students specialising in Psychology and Speech Therapy visited the “Nazareth” Rehabilitation Centre accompanied by their internship supervisor, Associate Professor Iryna Hrynyk and Associate Professors from the Department of Psychology, Mariia Zamishchak and Olesia Ryhel. These faculty members teach courses such as “Introduction to Psychology,” “Support for Families and Children with Special Educational Needs,” “Speech Therapy,” “Psychological Assistance for Individuals with Functional Limitations,” and “Rehabilitation Psychology.”
During the visit, the students had the opportunity to deepen their understanding of rehabilitation care, the significance of psychological support, communication, and social adaptation. The visit allowed them to see theoretical knowledge applied in practice so that they could better grasp the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration when working with individuals in need of assistance.
Such initiatives contribute to the development of professional competencies, empathy, and a responsible attitude toward one’s future profession. We sincerely thank Chaplain Oleh Kekosh for his assistance in organizing the visit, Father Ihor Kozankevych for his insightful guidance during the tour, and the specialists at the “Nazareth” Rehabilitation Centre for their hospitality and valuable practical experience.
