About Kayvan Imthurn
Hello! I am Kayvan
Occupational therapist at Coppet
What do I like about my work ?
What I like about working as a paediatric occupational therapist is the playful aspect of the therapies, which allows the child to learn by having fun.
I like to look for creative solutions with parents and teachers (+ other professionals) to help children become independent.
Interacting with children and seeing them progress and gain confidence makes me happy to go to work every morning.
My experience
- During my occupational therapy training in Lausanne, I had the opportunity to do two internships in paediatrics: one in a special school with children with cerebral palsy and one in a paediatric occupational therapy practice in Orbe, where I was able to consolidate my knowledge.
- I work at Ergo-Léman since August 2021
