AT and Minor Home mods - Interventions in People’s Homes (SOLD OUT)
The prescription of AT and minor home modifications requires thorough and comprehensive assessment, trial and clinical reasoning by the prescribing OT. It at times be both rewarding and challenging, with the need to draw on clinical evidence, legislative requirements such as the Australian Standards plus consideration of the need of the client and their circumstances. This series of webinars will equip community-based OT’s with the skills and knowledge to assess, prescribe and identify suitable AT and minor home modification solutions effectively. Each webinar will provide a scaffold of learning, using practical tips and process checklists to build competency in the AT and minor home modifications space.

Testimonial
AS the name says, it is an excellent course to teach the foundations. A new grad who has no experience would find this immensely rewarding. A more experienced OT would find that they know some of this material, but there were still plenty of handy hints of ways to do things differently/better or introduction of AT that they were not previously aware of that makes this still a useful course to complete.
