A project involving children with disabilities living in a Vietnamese orphanage is building a close relationship between health services and educators in Australia and Vietnam. Phu My Orphanage, located in Ho Chi Minh City, has helped more than 110 students from Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) School of Community Health complete the final clinical practice requirements for their occupational therapy, speech pathology and physiotherapy degrees since 2002. This year 12 CSU students, based in Albury-Wodonga, will work closely with over 400 children and their carers, living in the orphanage for six weeks starting in June while also demonstrating therapy to the carers. They will be accompanied by CSU occupational therapy course coordinator, Associate Professor Michael Curtin, and speech pathologist Ms Jo Shugg, physiotherapist Ms Kate Willoughby and occupational therapist Ms Brooke Carroll from Yooralla, a Melbourne-based organisation that specialises in working with children and adults with disabilities.
