Why choose this course?
This online course is compulsory for all new CPA allied health therapists and can be accessed via your online learning login. The course is also recommended for all current Allied Health Professionals working directly with clients as a refresher. The course provides an in-depth understanding of the importance of using a formal goal setting tool to help identify an individual’s personal goals. This tool helps promote the client/family centered approach to therapy that we use here at CPA. It is also important in providing education and training around the use of the outcome measure in clinical practice, which is required to demonstrate client progress in therapy. These outcome measures can then be used as statistical measures of progress in Service Review Documents when reporting back to the NDIS.
