A catastrophic injury is, by definition, a life changing event. Individuals can sometimes spend weeks or even months in a hospital or rehabilitation center. While in the facilities, an individual learns to manage their disability and limitation in a controlled accessible environment. But, what happens when they are ready to go home? Is their home ready for them?
In this webinar, participants will:
• Learn how to effectively assess the home and identify areas that will be a challenge for the clients
• Explore the common household fixtures and setups to identify the obstacles that will prevent a person from being independent in their home environment.
• Learn how to plan for the required modifications and the cost associated with those modifications.
• Learn how to find and work with contractors and best practices for efficiently communicating the individual’s needs and project expectations.
