What You'll Learn
Therapy Assistants (TAs) play an integral role in the rehabilitation of the patient. They are key players in supporting the therapists in carrying out the relevant routine interventions and reporting to the therapists if any changes are observed in the client’s performance while they are exercising with the client. A competent TA can follow the instructions of the therapist duly and perform the interventions as accurately as possible. He/she also reinforces client and caregiver education on intervention, exercises and/or assistive devices under the supervision of the therapist. This course will teach the relevant skills required for the TA to aid in client and caregiver education.
