Completed from United Kingdom
Absolutely brilliant! The enthusiastic delivery kept me motivated from day one. I especially appreciated the hands‑on labs where we programmed eye‑tracking software for a client with ALS – it was amazing to see theory turn into real impact. The course pack included up‑to‑date research articles and a step‑by‑step guide to creating individualized assistive technology plans, which I’ve already used to secure funding for a new adaptive communication device for a teenage client. The overall experience was inspiring and has definitely raised my confidence as an OT practitioner.
The course exceeded my expectations in a very professional manner. The modules on low‑tech and high‑tech assistive devices directly aligned with my goal of integrating technology into pediatric OT sessions. I was able to apply the step‑by‑step protocol for conducting a needs‑assessment using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, and within two weeks I successfully introduced a customized switch‑activated tablet for a client with cerebral palsy. The video demonstrations were clear, the reading materials were up‑to‑date, and the downloadable case studies reflected real‑world scenarios. Overall, the learning experience was seamless, and I feel fully prepared to design evidence‑based assistive technology plans for my clients.
I loved the laid‑back vibe of the class while still getting solid info. The section on environmental modifications gave me practical tips – like how to set up a home office for a client recovering from a hand injury using simple desk risers and ergonomic keyboards. The interactive quizzes helped cement the concepts, and the downloadable PDFs were super handy for quick reference. After finishing, I was able to coach a colleague on using a voice‑activated smart speaker to aid a client with limited hand function, which really boosted our clinic’s service offering.
The course provided a thorough, detailed exploration of assistive technology integration within occupational therapy. I was particularly impressed by the module on sensor‑based feedback systems; I learned to calibrate pressure‑sensing mats for gait training, and I have already implemented this with a post‑stroke patient, noting a measurable improvement in weight‑shift symmetry over four weeks. The reading list featured recent journals from the International Journal of Assistive Technology, and the case‑study workbook allowed me to practice documentation skills. Although the pace was intense, the depth of content ensured I left with a solid toolkit for my practice.
