This
congress was held in order to improve the techniques of occupational therapy
and so on with 5,000 people from 70 countries.
I interpreted at the booth of “paper folding and making bookmarks” in
the morning. I heard that the paper folding
is familiarized as the rehabilitation steps.
I moved to “disability sports” booth in the afternoon. The pairs of skis, the wheelchairs for
basketball games and so on were displayed there, which had been actually used
at the Paralympics. The artificial legs
for trial were prepared, too. I felt the
zeal of all the occupational therapists from many countries and the importance
of occupational therapy on that day.
