Pre-requisite: Rehabilitation
Strategic Spanish for Therapists: Accommodation is the third in a 3-part series of practical training courses for Physical and Occupational Therapists serving Spanish-speaking patients. You don't have to be bilingual to communicate instructions in Spanish well enough to complete your session objectives!
The course is called "strategic" for a reason. It provides carefully designed short cuts and easy pathways for even a beginning language learner to manage Spanish-speaking patients safely and respectfully, without the presence of an interpreter.
The Accommodation course covers such items as:
- keep patients safe from everything from popping stitches in a hospital bed to mishandling a wheelchair
- learn vocabulary necessary for manipulating adaptive equipment
- learn instructions for getting patients with limited mobility to handle daily activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, shopping and cleaning
- cultural tips and language strategies for guarding patients' privacy and treating them with respect
- upon completion, users qualify for a certificate AND an audio resource to keep the lessons fresh long after the course is concluded
