Workshops and Trainings:
ATP provides one-to-one training for individuals or group training for staff professional development.
Comprehensive product training for individuals receiving equipment is imperative to reduce chances of AT abandonment.
Being mindful that the success of an AT intervention is affected by the knowledge and support of family and team members, training for families is highly encouraged.
Individual and group training is also available for staff or professionals on a variety of devices and software. These can be either half or full day trainings.
Trainings can be held at convenient locations, client homes, or at the AT in Paradise location.
