This course is Part 4 in a five-part series on documentation with a focus on reporting skill and progress and how you can get the best out of your documentation. This course documents how to show skill as a therapist with low-level patients. The low-level patient from Part 3 returns to perform her first full treatment session after initial evaluation. The home exercise program is reviewed at the end of the session, with recommendations for how the patient can incorporate some of the exercises into her daily functional tasks.
This is course 4 in a series of five. Below are all the courses in the series.
