What Are Others Saying?

"I had taken notes on strategies and understood/ refreshed the components again as we tend to wonder where to start or what to target first. It benefits OT's working with young school kids to teenagers who have difficulties with exec functioning"

Lara D, Occupational Therapist

"I think it's perfect for graduates or early career clinicians, or perhaps an experienced clinician transitioning to Paediatrics. I found the routine based interview as part of the initial the best part, as it is something I haven't been doing much of in my initials and will start to incorporate!"
