What a brilliant course! From the moment I started, the enthusiasm of the tutors shone through and made the material come alive. I learned how to conduct a thorough functional assessment and then translate those findings into a concrete prescription for a power wheelchair – something I’d never felt comfortable doing before. The interactive simulations were spot‑on, and the downloadable templates are now a staple in my daily practice. The blend of theory and hands‑on practice was perfect, and I left feeling genuinely excited about applying my new skills.
The Prescribing and Training of Assistive Technology course delivered exactly what I needed to meet my professional development goals. The modules on needs‑assessment and device selection gave me a clear framework that I immediately applied when drafting a prescription for a client with a spinal cord injury. The case‑study videos were high‑quality and directly relevant to everyday practice, allowing me to practice the documentation process in a simulated environment. Overall, the curriculum was well‑structured, the reading materials were up‑to‑date, and the instructor feedback was prompt. I feel confident recommending this course to any clinician looking to deepen their assistive‑technology expertise.
I took this course because I wanted to get a handle on how to pick the right assistive devices for my clients, and it totally delivered. The practical workshops where we built a simple communication board were super useful – I actually used that board with a client at my clinic right after the course ended. The PDFs were clear and the quizzes kept things interesting. I especially liked the section on training families, which gave me a step‑by‑step guide I could hand out. All in all, a solid learning experience that helped me meet my goals.
The course was exceptionally detailed, covering everything from the legislative background of assistive technology to the biomechanics of device fitting. I particularly appreciated the module on environmental scanning, which taught me how to use a checklist to identify barriers in a client’s home. By the end of the program I could independently develop a comprehensive training plan for a child using an adaptive keyboard, complete with progress metrics. The reading list included recent peer‑reviewed articles, and the weekly webinars allowed for in‑depth discussion of complex cases. This depth of content ensured I met my learning objectives and feel well‑prepared for real‑world application.
