Speaker: Dave Tushar, PT

Description: Many patients begin to experience decline and deterioration of their physical abilities. As this process begins, patients may need to rely more on adaptive equipment they have or need other equipment to aid them in maintaining their independence and safety in their home. Knowing the basic information related to the various equipment that you may find in the home combined with the knowledge of other equipment that may be available can assist your delivery of quality care to your patients.

Convenience: Enjoy the convenience and cost-efficiency of a telephone workshop. There is no travel time involved and no limit to the number of attendees from your agency who may participate at your site through one phone line. All you need to participate is a speaker telephone and a room large enough for your staff. It is a controlled, radio-like environment where you will gather your staff, dial an 800 number, state your verbal password, and you’re connected. You will also be able to participate in a Q&A portion. The teleconference will take place from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. EST., 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. CST.
