Creative Approaches to Delivering Skilled, Person-Centered Rehabilitation (Recorded Webinar)
This course is a recording of a previously hosted live webinar event. Polling and question submission features are not available for this recording. Format and structure may differ from those of standard MedBridge courses.
Taking a functional approach to neurorehabilitation therapy can be both appealing and a mystery to any clinician. As emerging trends in rehabilitation move away from the traditional medical model of out-of-context, impairment-based activities using generic therapy tasks, it can appear as if person-centered care simply requires providers to arrive at a session with no plan. In reality, there are specialized and effective skills necessary to making the therapeutic moment a success.
This webinar provides a guide on how to make the most of interactions between provider and client, rooted in skilled communication techniques that promote partnership, collaboration, and empowerment. We will define the "soft skills" critical to a provider's successful navigation of clinical interactions, including the roles of observation and perception, active listening, collaborative goal setting, and innovative creativity, to develop enriched opportunities for person-centered rehabilitative care. A variety of real-life clinical examples will help therapists learn to integrate evidence-based strategies into meaningful experiences in any rehabilitation setting.
