WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
I found the workshop very informative and helpful. The framework used to write NDIS Functional Assessments which was outlined in the workshop, was clear and comprehensive. Its important OTs are aware of all components within such an assessment so as to ensure clients receive the funding they need.
It was a great resource for an OT who isn't too familiar with NDIS and just needed a basic overview of what a functional Ax entails and what NDIS is looking for. Really brought back core OT skills and assessments into the webinar which was great!
