About the course

Person-centered practice can become too narrow when teams focus only on the immediate interaction. This course helps learners keep the person at the center while noticing the relationships, settings, routines, access points, health-related participation factors, and team communication patterns that shape what happens. Ecological means looking at the person in relationship with the environments and systems around them. Learners use a fictional provider-team communication scenario and the Ecological Support Scan to practice noticing barriers, supports, mismatches, handoff points, and practical next steps.
