WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
The workshop was incredibly helpful as an introduction to bidet prescription. I have not ventured into bidet prescriptions thus far into my career as an OT, however I do have a couple of clients who would highly benefit from same. Undergoing this workshop has provided me with a clear path as to where to start and how to complete bidet prescriptions for my participants. It has also provided me with helpful resources and contacts to do so.
I found the workshop to be incredibly engaging and informative. The interactive format and practical examples made it easy to understand and apply the concepts in my practice.
