Therapy Care introduces mid- to
high-elementary level students to the basics of
occupational and physical therapy. Students
experience useful communicative English that they
can use in their future careers as therapists with
English speaking patients.
Many first and second year students of therapy do
not yet have a full command of their subject. They
acquire this information in the later years of their
study. Therapy Care understands this and
does not demand highly detailed or technical output
from students. Rather, the language practice is
geared simultaneously towards building up from the
base of that subject knowledge and towards dealing
with English that helps them develop language skills
in a practical manner.
Therapy Care comprises twelve units which
cover a wide range of topics of direct interest to
both future physical and occupational therapists.
These include the decision to become a therapist,
dealing with sports injuries, activities of daily
living, and issues in elderly care.
This book is accompanied by a subscription-based Online
