The School of Rehabilitation Sciences, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences began its missionsin the 1974 in an area of (4000m²)under the title of “The Institute of Optometry” affiliated in the then “Daneshgah-E-Melli” (National University), and so shortly beforethe Islamic Revolution, the only field of study there was the optometry. In 1986, the “Institute of Optometry” was integrated to the SBMU School of the Para-Medical Sciences, and gradually, other fields in rehabilitation sciences, such as audiology, occupational therapy, and physical therapy were also added to it. Until the fall (1994) all the previousfields were offered and practiced in the second building of the SBMU School of the Para-Medical Sciences, but then, the Development Council of the Medical Universities approved the establishment of the School of theRehabilitation Sciences, which resulted in the formation of the SBMU School of Rehabilitation. The educational and treatment problems of the fields forced theSBMU to revise the management and administrative system, and to establish an integrated school. Since 1994, had been the SBMU School of Rehabilitation on its mission independently with basic changes in its physical space, machinery, and necessary equipment (a library, textbook, books, audio-visual aids, labs, and a restaurant) are the needs of the academic staff and the students as well as the personnel.
