Strategic Spanish for Therapists is a practical training course 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 Basics course is the first in a 3-part series. It covers such items as:
- short cuts to learning functional pronunciation skills
- tailored vocabulary necessary for successful sessions
- instructions for basic body movements
- cultural tips and language strategies to encourage your patient's cooperation
- pain assessments to assure the safety of your patient while in session
- an easy way to gather the required information you need to formulate a therapy plan
The Basics is a pre-requisite for the second course Rehabilitation. The third and final course is Accommodation.
