A parachute, a beachball, and teamwork: OT unleashes the 7 senses | Fatima Chehouri | TEDxNDULouaize

How many senses do we have? You will most probably say: 5. Occupational Therapists, however, have a different answer to this question. With the use of what people mostly see as simple toys, OT, Fatima Chehouri, walks her audience into a set of sensory games in order to discover what is beyond those 5 senses.

Born in Beirut-Lebanon and raised in the U.S.A., Fatima is an American Board Certified occupational therapist and clinician; the founder and director of OTC-Lebanon which is an occupational therapy center that provides services to children and adults in the areas of cognition, physical rehabilitation, and prevention of disease. She is also a consultant to schools, learning centers and government organizations. As the president of the Lebanese Occupational Therapy Association, her philosophy is: “Action speaks louder than words”.
