PTA Program Service Learning this Summer
The Vol
State Physical Therapist Assistant program is partnering with Veranda
Ministries in a Service Learning project. Veranda Ministries is a
multi-denominational respite program for those with a form of dementia. The
Veranda is one of few day respite programs in Middle Tennessee and they are
leading the way to provide a service that is in demand.
PTA students
will be volunteering at least two hours each this summer at the Veranda facility
in Gallatin. Student will gain direct
experience in interpersonal communication skills. This introduction to client
support will be valuable as they prepare for clinical education externships
that will occur in the fall of 2019 and the spring of 2020. The volunteer experience will also support
the Veranda staff members as they plan and direct daily activities for their
clients.
