Who is this course for?
This is “as required” training for Clinicians with caseloads that will include 3 or more Seating and Positioning needs within approximately 3 months.
If this course is relevant to your role, but not mandatory, please discuss with and get approval from your manager.
What content does the course cover?
This session includes:
- Assessment of Posture Practice: hands on experience in how to complete an assessment of posture for Seating and Mobility interventions (palpation, identification of asymmetries and measurement taking).
