Thank you for putting together such a clear and well-structured learning experience. The content was easy to follow, highly relevant to clinical practice, and supported by useful resources.
I really appreciated the practical examples and focus on clinical reasoning. I’m looking forward to exploring more courses through Verve OT Learning in the future!

This workshop was amazing
I have recently started back in the NDIS space and it was a fantastic refresher and also gave me so much more information than anything else.
And the way it was structured, walking through the whole process was fantastic.
Highly recommend to any OT!

The workshop was easy to navigate and the presenter expanded on the powerpoint by explaining things well, giving examples and links to assist which I can refer back to at a later date. The workshop has given me a refresher of what is required and confidence to create reports to benefit my clients.
Great to be able to purchase the workshop and be able to access the content at a time that is convenient to me. Clear slides and explanations.
