MUST Supports Children with Special Needs and Their Mothers Through a Therapeutic and Recreational Day

On 27 April 2025, Misr University for Science and Technology (MUST), through its Faculty of Physical Therapy, participated in a recreational and therapeutic day at Al-Wafaa wa Al-Amal Hospital for children with special needs and their mothers. The initiative reached an estimated 60 children and mothers, focusing on pediatric physical therapy, developmental screening, maternal health education, and psychosocial support.

During the event, specialized healthcare professionals provided pediatric neuromuscular physical therapy and developmental milestone screening to support the assessment of children’s physical development and rehabilitation needs. Maternal counseling and health education were also provided to help mothers better understand their children’s needs and the importance of ongoing developmental support.

The initiative highlighted the importance of a Health outreach programme that brings healthcare education and supportive services to children and their families. Therapeutic recreational activities also emphasized the role of Exercise and appropriate physical activity in supporting children’s movement, physical development, and overall well-being.

By engaging children with disabilities and their families, MUST recognized the importance of family involvement, maternal guidance, and psychosocial support in promoting children’s health. The initiative also encouraged social inclusion by creating opportunities for children with special needs and their mothers to participate in supportive recreational and therapeutic activities.

The event reflects MUST’s commitment to inclusive healthcare education and community engagement. It also highlights the importance of free access to health education and support services, where available, for families who may benefit from developmental guidance and rehabilitation-related information.
