AEP Case Conference: Disability
Are your currently working in or thinking about working in the disability space?
Join our upcoming AEP Case Conference
AEP Case Conferences are online webinar discussions designed to support AEPs build confidence in clinical practice. They aim to provide an opportunity for a small group of AEPs to discuss best practice approaches for a specific client (case).
What is covered?
AEPs and disability experts Amanda Semaan and Kara Foscholo from Active Ability will facilitate a small group discussion for a female client presenting with Angelman Syndrome. We will discuss how to approach each stage of a client’s journey – from referral, assessment, design of intervention and delivery to monitoring, review and reporting.

•
Broaden knowledge about operating within the disability sector, including the NDIS and group home environments
• Develop strategies to manage client non-compliance
• Identify the most appropriate and relevant options for assessment and exercise prescription.
•
Understand the application of clinical reasoning.
•
Understand how to best manage client expectations and referrer obligations.
• Opportunity to ask questions, seek feedback on current practice and gain confidence in treating clients with an intellectual disability.
