OT students work with visually impaired
Summer Sensations camp was a great success, according to 3rd year occupational therapy student Jerri Lynn Craft.

Conducted by MUSC Student Occupational Therapy Association, in partnership
with the Association for the Blind, the camp’s focus was to provide children
with vision impairments, ages 5 to 11, with an opportunity to participate
in physical, social, and sensory experiences to enhance the development
of life skills and foster self-confidence and independence through purposeful
play.
Students and children spent the day swimming, doing arts and
crafts, storytelling, listening to music and playing games.
