Model Apartment 
Unique to 91快播, our model apartment is specially designed to give OT students real-world experience. Many occupational therapists work within a client’s home so there’s no better way to learn than in our model apartment. This room has been designed with the intent for students to get experience with floor transitions from carpet to tile and different furniture styles, like firm or soft couches, chairs, or recliners. Students also are exposed to working appliances including a top and front loading washer and dryer. The apartment also includes a full bathroom where students can learn to use specialized equipment and how to identify hazards and risks in a client’s home. One wall in the room contains a 2 way mirror allowing students to observe actual clients from the community to assist in the learning process. This gives students an unobstructed view of the assessments and exercises being practiced while making the client feel more comfortable. Clients from the community are informed that there is a class observing for educational purpose.
