WHEEL OF INDEPENDENCE™ Framework Course
Maximising independence for students
This course is only available to licensees of the WHEEL OF INDEPENDENCETM online tool
An online workshop to develop the competencies needed to successfully deliver the life skills interventions using the WHEEL OF INDEPENDENCE™ framework and the online tool.
The aim of this training is to develop the skills needed to successfully use the WHEEL OF INDEPENDENCE™ framework, for non-Occupational Therapy trained staff. Whilst it is aimed at other staff, such as teachers, SENDCOs, teaching assistant and learning support staff, as well as support work in other settings such as play workers, it’s entirely suitable for an OT to attend along with the staff that will be delivering interventions the OT has devised.
Format of the Session
A 4-hour online or face-to-face workshop, for a small group of staff (5-8 people). Although the training is aimed at non-Occupational Therapists, OT staff are welcome to attend alongside their colleagues.
There will be plenty of time for feedback and questions. By the end of the training you will understand how to use the framework to best effect, to support the students and young people within your organisation.
