Bridge the gap between innovation and practice! This two-course continuing education program is designed for occupational therapists and other rehabilitation professionals who want to master cutting-edge customization techniques to enhance client-centered care. You'll gain the essential know-how to leverage the Design Thinking framework to creatively problem-solve and develop tailored interventions, equipment, and solutions for your clients. You will also learn to bring these designs to life by acquiring practical skills in 3D printing—a versatile technology that enhances your ability to create highly customizable, client-specific devices across various settings (inpatient, outpatient, home, and community). Move beyond standardized tools and elevate your practice by engaging in hands-on projects to design and create custom solutions that directly increase a client's participation and engagement in meaningful occupations.

Courses included in this bundle:

• 3D Printing and its Role in Occupational Therapy Practice
• Design Thinking for Occupational Therapy Practitioners
