There is a global need for rehabilitation services. Around 1.5 billion people worldwide currently live with some form of disability, and a further 2.41 billion individuals live with conditions that impact their function.

This first course was a marvellous conceptual overview of the necessary elements of rehabilitation, frameworks and the importance of outcome measures for practice. It succinctly and expressly impressed upon me core factors in a memorable manner that I know I will remember.

Great Course and well prepared! Back to Basics is usually overlooked, but I think it has much to offer!

I believe that all rehabilitation practitioners (physiotherapists, OTs, SLTs, O&Ps) could be part of this course.! It would help universally standardize and unify our practices, and our patients would have better health outcomes, and we all (we and our patients) would be happy for it.

I would recommend this course to every Rehabilitation Professional. It is easy to slip away from basics as you gain more years of experience. You tend to perform techniques you cannot explain, even though they are correct. It's a must-course for me. Thanks, Plus!!!!!

The course is fantastic! I love how Jacquie provides us with some new information in the simplest way. I will take a lot of unique considerations tomorrow to work.

I am a special Education teacher working in an Inclusive setting, supporting learners with impairments, their mainstream teachers and parents. I also teach the education component of the CBR course to CBR students. I am a novice in healthcare rehabilitation and am interested in gaining expert knowledge in CBR. After the course, I realized I had unconsciously provided some healthcare rehabilitation services without critical considerations. Now, I fully understand the key elements of ICF, the Disability and health model and its role in rehabilitation. I am very anxious to implement them as soon as schools begin. These will significantly impact my CBR and Special Education Teacher work.
