The last day they had their exam on Adaptive Equipment and Adaptive design in the morning. Then in the afternoon they had their final presentations. The entire time they were at the mission for all 3 courses they were broken into 5 lab groups and each group had 6-7 Miriam Center kids. All their labs and homework revolved around these same kids. Their final presentations they had to present on:
1. Each of the kids in their group including name, age, primary diagnosis, secondary diagnosis, 3 OT treatments, 3 PT treatments, 3 appropriate pieces of adaptive equipment from their textbook (Disabled Village Children), their cardboard carpentry projects and what child they were for and why they chose that child. Each of the 5 groups had 1 hour to present. They all did an overall great job. I can confidently say they all learned a lot!!! Also that is was probably 2.5 of the hardest weeks of school as I had to cram so much material in such a short period of time. Long days, a lot of information...but I truly believe in the end all their handwork paid off and we now have 17 more Rehab Techs in Haiti who understand and can advocate for children with special needs in Haiti!

We ended a very long and stressful week with a shaving cream and flour fight. It was great to have a good laugh and some fun together before they left. Everyone participated whether they wanted to or not.
