Notice when helpful prompts begin to replace the person’s opportunity to choose, act, or direct assistance.
Designed for recreational therapists and community-based support professionals. Adapt examples to your actual role, preparation, and setting.
Use Malik’s grocery trip to practice preserving access while returning the task to the person.
8 short captioned video lessons, complementary reading, on-page practice, a ten-question knowledge check, and an optional course evaluation. Plan approximately 60–75 minutes for the full learning experience, including practice and the quiz. This is a planning estimate; completion time varies.
All practice is on the lesson pages. You may keep your own notes using fictional or general examples without identifying client information.
