Teaching methods

Theoretical lessons accompanied by examples led by the teacher.

Given the nature of the learning activities and teaching methods adopted, attendance in this course requires all students to complete Modules 1 and 2 through e-learning, as well as to participate in a third training module on health and safety in study and clinical placement environments. Information regarding the dates and attendance arrangements for the third module will be provided to students by their respective teaching sites.

1) General principles of rehabilitation

2) Health professionals in the Rehabilitation area

3) International Classification of Functioning (I.C.F.)

4) The Clinical Prediction Rules as a tool to classify people with disabilities and insert them in specific Rehabilitation programs

With regard to the use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) during examinations, this course adopts Scenario 3, as outlined below:

Scenario 3: For assessment purposes, the use of AI is permitted only in a limited, declared, and non-substantive manner for support activities such as summarization and rephrasing. The substantive use of AI to complete any part of the examination is not permitted.

Students with Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) or temporary or permanent disabilities are encouraged to contact the University's designated support office well in advance:
