The workshop was well-structured and highly informative. It provided clear frameworks/strategies for the different clinical presentations and what to consider. The key takeaways for me was learning the highly intensive nature of toileting interventions and the importance of contracting at the outset to ensure everyone is committed to the process as it sets the foundation for a successful intervention. Definitely a must for paediatric-focused OTs. Massive fan of this presenter!
I found the workshop to be informative and comprehensive in covering all aspects of toileting. My key take away was about the developmental milestones for toileting. Others will benefit from attending this workshop as it provides a clear way to approach interventions around toileting.
