| Children hospitalized at the Soroka
Medical center has access to an enrichment program of studies and distance learning using
network facilities and video cameras. The tutors and instructors are
students and teachers from the David Yellin Teachers' College in Jerusalem (Kav-Or
Program) .
The Eshel Hanessi Regional School provides to his students hospitalized in the
Center continuing access to their regular studies using vide conference facilities and an
interphone.
In the framework of this hospital school the children learn to use computer
supported facilities for drawing and graphics production - thus being provided with
additional tools for emotional expression.
An additional project bein carried out in the framework of the school is the
preparation for surgical interventions. The children go through a detailed preparation
process including the learning of the different stages, the medical tests and examinations
they will undergo in the department until going back home. The structurization thus
obtained helps in coping with the anxiety derived from the uncertainty and diminishes the
felt anxiety. |
