Session Description

This educational and interactive session will describe the Shepherd Center's Recreation Therapy Caregiver Training Program. We will review both community based and resource components of the SCI and the ABI caregiver training intervention. The planning process for community based training will be reviewed to address potential risk management issues and program advocacy. Interactive group discussion will be included so participants will be able to identify potential barriers and solutions for implementing a program.

Learning Outcomes - Provide three measurable learning objectives for the session that relate to the NCTRC Job Anaylsis.

By the end of this session, participants will:

1. Demonstrate knowledge of the importance of incorporating caregiver training for community reintegration as part of the rehabilitation process for inpatient SCI & ABI.

2. Be able to list the components of a caregiver training program that teaches community safety, problem solving, and advocacy.

3. Discuss a plan for integrating a recreation therapy caregiver training program at their facility, as part of the interdisciplinary treatment team.
